Ningning Hu, Peter Steenkiste. Evaluation and Characterization of Available Bandwidth Probing Techniques. In the IEEE JSAC Special Issue in Internet and WWW Measurement, Mapping, and Modeling, Vol. 21(6), Aug. 2003
 
talks about a technique called IGI/PTR for measuring available bandwidth. This technique is supposed to measure available bandwidth in a network path faster than Pathload
 
 (``End-to-End Available Bandwidth: Measurement methodology, Dynamics, and Relation with TCP Throughput'', in Proceedings of ACM SIGCOMM, August 2002 (also look at an extended version, to appear in the ACM/IEEE Transactions on Networking, 2003). 
 
Does anybody have more information/insights on this?
