[e2e] ResiliencyToward Packet Misordering

[Gianluca Iannaccone]

we have been doing some work on this topic and, among 
other things, we found that reordering is significantly 
less than what was reported in previous works. 

if you're interested, we also wrote a tech report:
    
 "Measurement and Classification of Out-of-Sequence 
 Packets in a tier-1 IP backbone",
 Sharad Jaiswal, Gianluca Iannaccone, Christophe Diot, 
 Jim Kurose, Don Towsley.
