Comment(by mikeperry):

 FYI, there are a ton of lightweight capacity measurement mechanisms
 published since CapProbe that claim to be improvements. Examples include:
 Packet Twins, TRIO, and "ThroughputIndex" (fully passive).

 If you check the CapProbe citation lists, there's also a ton of new work
 on measuring capacity in overlay networks that directly cites CapProbe:
 http://ksubrick.ist.psu.edu/showciting?doi=10.1.1.76.8001

 The challenge for us is to find not only the best one of these for Tor's
 current and future transports, but to also blend in latency (#4708),
 circuit failure (#1984), tcp socket exhaustion (#4709), feedback (#1976),
 and resilience to gaming.
