[e2e] Testing TCP-friendliness at routers

[A.L.Narasimha Reddy]

It seems feasible to estimate the amount of aggregate traffic not responding
to congestion signals (ala TCP) without looking at per-flow information.

Here are the pointers:

"A method for estimating non-responsive traffic at a router" ACM Sigmetric 2002.
