[ndnSIM] RTTEstimator

[Cheng Yi]

Hi Gabriel,

IncreaseMultiplier is called whenever there is a NACK or an Interest 
timeout, which implies potential congestion in the network. The 
implementation of RttEstimator is based on the Karn's algorithm which is 
used in TCP RTT estimation. Whether it fits NDN well is debatable and 
still under investigation. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Cheng
