// By tracking in real time the latencies and bandiwdths peers exhibit for each
// packet type, it's possible to prevent overloading by detecting a slowdown on

// Similarly, real time measurements also help avoid overloading the local net
// connection if our peers would otherwise be capable to deliver more, but the
// local link is saturated. In that case, the live measurements will force us
// to reduce request sizes until the throughput gets stable.
//
// Lastly, message rate measurements allows us to detect if a peer is unsuaully
// slow compared to other peers, in which case we can decide to keep it around
// or free up the slot so someone closer.
//
// Since throughput tracking and estimation adapts dynamically to live network
// conditions, it's fine to have multiple trackers locally track the same peer
// in different subsystem. The throughput will simply be distributed across the
// two trackers if both are highly active.
