[e2e] packet-pair probe implementation

[Joseph Ishac]

Another implementation of packet-pair probes can be found within the
Swift Start Proposal (BBN/NASA).  Swift Start uses an initial burst of 4
packets to estimate the available bandwidth, and then paces a portion of
the estimate onto the wire over the course of a round trip time.

The project page is at:
http://www.ir.bbn.com/projects/pace/cap/index.html

There is a FreeBSD kernel implementation available at the above site, as
well as a few supporting technical reports.
