Comment (by anon):

 Replying to [comment:2 mo]:
 > It is actually not required to put more flexible and more thus
 complicated rules inside Tor itself. You can reconfigure Tor via its
 control port, or rewrite the configuration and send Tor a reload signal.

 where it is different, is that this method is both not very agile, and
 also introduces undesired behavior in the network.

 consider another option, which while also easy to trim bandwidth causes
 undesired behavior and failures:  publish as exit, then when bandwidth is
 high or under contention, start filtering exit ports, or cutting long
 lived circuits, or ...

 it would be better to use existing facilities, but it would also be better
 to make efficient use of idle capacity without adding side effects or
 unintended failures.
