Is that information categorized in the FMS by team number?

I think it would be nice to know if bad D-Link placement was giving some teams a significant disadvantage.
You can ask the FTA to monitor that for you and tell you after a match what kind of latency they saw. Ask before the match starts though. It's a lot more convenient to watch it than dig it out after the match. If something unusual happens on the field it's much easier to correlate.

Average trip (ms) is probably most important. You want this value below 20ms.
If it's higher, then you should relocate your radio.
The Missed Packet metric is not terribly useful, because it gets high when the Driver Station is on a long time before the robot or vice versa. It's not missed packets after communication is established.
