*
* The link estimate module is used for computing estimations of link
* quality. It computes a quality index for links, based on
* information about how many times a packet has been transmitted, as
* well as information about incoming packets. The link estimate
* module exposes an interface that provides functions that are called
* for incoming and outgoing packets.
