/*
 * This file is an implementation of the SampleRate algorithm
 * in "Bit-rate Selection in Wireless Networks"
 * (http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/papers/jbicket-ms.ps)
 *
 * SampleRate chooses the bit-rate it predicts will provide the most
 * throughput based on estimates of the expected per-packet
 * transmission time for each bit-rate.  SampleRate periodically sends
 * packets at bit-rates other than the current one to estimate when
 * another bit-rate will provide better performance. SampleRate
 * switches to another bit-rate when its estimated per-packet
 * transmission time becomes smaller than the current bit-rate's.
 * SampleRate reduces the number of bit-rates it must sample by
 * eliminating those that could not perform better than the one
 * currently being used.  SampleRate also stops probing at a bit-rate
 * if it experiences several successive losses.
 *
 * The difference between the algorithm in the thesis and the one in this
 * file is that the one in this file uses a ewma instead of a window.
 *
 * Also, this implementation tracks the average transmission time for
 * a few different packet sizes independently for each link.
