As the maintainer of a PPPoE concentrator, and operator of some networks,
I've been considering whether one can estimate the bandwidth using round
trip PPP IPCP keep alives.   Clearly, if both ends participate in time
stamping then it is much better, but I've been wondering if we can do some
incremental deployment on one side or the other.

Sadly, I mostly just think about this while cycling; I haven't written any
code yet.
