The network research lab at my school has a tool called CapProbe that allows fast and accurate measuring of capacity estimation. I haven't used it personally, but I know it relies on measuring the dispersion of packet pairs. The paper from SIGCOMM 2004 is at:

http://www.cs.ucla.edu/NRL/CapProbe/files/04_SIGCOMM_CapProbe.pdf

The software can be downloaded from http://www.cs.ucla.edu/NRL/CapProbe. Both kernel-level and user-level versions are available for Linux.

right now i pass the buck and let the user pick a suitable limit.  if
excessive loss is detected continuously the stack can cut by half or
exit with error.

i'm still looking for better ways to do this; ideally it would be tied
to kernel level shaping and based on a historical view of channel
capacity.

Got it.  Has anyone else had good experience trying to measure this
automatically in the real world?
