+ SampleRate decides on the transmission bit-rate based on the past
+ history of performance; it keeps a record of the number of successive
+ failures, the number of successful transmits and the total transmission
+ time along with the destination for that bit-rate. Stale samples are
+ removed based on a EWMA windowing mechanism. If in the sampling
+ process, no successful acknowledgment is received or the number of
+ packets sent is multiple of 10 on a specific link, it transmits the
+ packet with the highest rate which has not failed 4 successive times.
+ Other than that it transmits packets at the rate which has the lowest
+ average transmission time.
