Re: [ns] intserv documentation

Chris,

	intserv stuff is in ns/tcl/lib/ns-intserv.tcl, and a few .cc files. It 
is mostly for measurement based admission control. It uses various Estimators 
for bandwidth estimation (Time-window, EWMA ...) each has it's own parameters. 
Estimators have their corresponding admission control modules, with their own 
algs. You can find more info on MBAC from :
