Comment(by Flo):

 Replying to [comment:1 arma]:
 > What do your plots look like when there are 5 connections and you're
 running on a relay that is rate limited to 30KB/s? (and what would they
 look like if the round robin had a constant return value?)

 Sorry for my late response. I just missed yours.
 I attached the requested simulations.

 In case of the constant return value, the divergence in event 2 is the
 rest that is left in the bucket. But apart from that it is fair. I am just
 not sure what value to choose. In this case I used the num_bytes_low
 value.
