bandwidth before losing packets with udp.<BR><BR>Ideally the output would
look something like:<BR>Sending packets at 10Kb/s (5 seconds) - no packets
lost, increasing rate<BR>Sending packets at 13Kb/s (5 seconds) - no
packets lost, increasing rate<BR>Sending packets at 16Kb/s (5 seconds) - 2
packets lost, decreasing rate<BR>Sending packets at 14Kb/s
