RE: [AVT] draft-wing-avt-rtp-noop-01.txt - another use

That's a reasonable use, I suppose.  It does have the problem
you describe where testing the link could, itself, cause the
link's quality to fail for other calls.  Better would be to use
RSVP over a bandwidth-constrained link so that you could 
determine if a call could be brought up over that link.
