Available bandwidth along a path is an important metric that can be
useful to provide insight into the state and performance of the
network. Some methods have been proposed in literature for
measurement of available bandwidth but they face the problems of
scalability and high intrusiveness. In this draft, we propose a
method to measure path available bandwidth using an active approach
that probes the path. The probing mechanism used is based on TCP
New Reno. Once the samples for the available bandwidth measurement
are obtained, more accurate results are calculated using a
prediction filter.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
