You can obtain stats like these using the IP SLA feature on Cisco devices.

Another option is to run something like iPerf on PCs on both ends of the link to obtain stats.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to measure packet

 FYI, the term "packet delay variation" is the term the IETF
recommends be used, in favor of "jitter" (which I guess can be
ambiguous).

 I've had the free and Open Source SmokePing recommended to me for
this purpose.  I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.  Screen shots
look impressive as hell, though.  :)

 There's also good old fashioned "ping", which will give you min,
max, mean, and standard deviation for RTT time, and packet loss.
