Comment (by karsten):

 Thanks for the input, mikeperry!

 The idea of using a controller command for dropping timeouts rather than
 removing the `state` file came from robgjansen who was thinking about
 running similar experiments in Shadow. I'd say we should at least give it
 a try and see how complicated it is to implement such a command. Maybe
 we'll get help from friendly network team people.

 Still leaving this ticket assigned to metrics-team to be picked up. It's
 certainly not a tiny amount of work, but that's already reflected in the
 4.0 points estimated for this ticket. If somebody picks it up, please
 remember to release early and often by sharing intermediate results on
 this ticket. Thanks!
