[e2e] Internet Packet Loss Measurements?

[Paddy Ganti]

For an accurate path based packet loss analysis, refer to the methods laid
out in the paper

http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~savage/papers/Usits99.pdf

which has some very interesting ideas about measuring packet loss.

ps: tstat looks promising as well.
