Are they different? How?
I would explain the available bandwidth as
   o "the lowest link speed on the network path connecting a sender to a
      receiver", which would be bottleneck bandwidth".

>From Vern Paxson Ph.d. thesis,
   the bottleneck bandwidth means "the fastest transfer rate the path
   can sustain".

Or, look at Keshav's and other few papers' explanation.

I think they would be the same thing, isn't it?
