NAME
       gen_new_estimator - create a new rate estimator


SYNOPSIS
       int gen_new_estimator  (struct gnet_stats_basic * bstats,
                                struct gnet_stats_rate_est * rate_est,
                                spinlock_t * stats_lock, struct rtattr * opt);


ARGUMENTS
       bstats basic statistics

       rate_est
              rate estimator statistics

       stats_lock
              statistics lock

       opt    rate estimator configuration TLV


DESCRIPTION
       Creates a new rate estimator with &bstats as source  and  &rate_est  as
       destination.   A   new   timer  with  the  interval  specified  in  the
       configuration TLV is created. Upon each interval, the latest statistics
       will  be  read  from  &bstats  and the estimated rate will be stored in
       &rate_est with the statistics lock grabed during this period.

       Returns 0 on success or a negative error code.
