[e2e] packet-pair probe implementation

[Ningning Hu]

We have an available bandwidth measurement tool based on the packet-pair 
probing. We call it IGI (Initial Gap Increasing). It actually implements 
both IGI (estimating the available bandwidth by first measuring the 
background traffic load) and PTR (Packet Transmission Rate, directly 
estimating the available bandwidth using the packet train transmission 
speed).

More information (including the source code) is available at 
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~hnn/igi.

Cheers,
Ningning
