Comment(by mikeperry):

 For the throttling experiment, I think we want to run at least 2
 experiments, but probably more.

 We want to be able to support streaming video on youtube, which for 360p
 HTML5 video takes about 35-40K/sec, or about 20M for a 10min video.

 I think this means we should try to see what a 10M/40K burst/rate looks
 like in torperf, as well as a 100M/10K limit looks like.

 The idea is we want to test to see if minimally invasive limits can still
 choke out the jerks and improve performance.
