 * \brief implements the Mean-Deviation RTT estimator

 * reference: ns3::RttMeanDeviation
 *
 * This RttEstimator algorithm is designed for TCP, which is a continuous stream.
 * NDN Interest-Data traffic is not always a continuous stream,
 * so NDN may need a different RttEstimator.
 * The design of a more suitable RttEstimator is a research question.
