 there before starting to test. For now, this could be as simple as a
 configuration option that specifies the upstream link capacity, and then
 the logic necessary to enforce the limit.

 We want to keep the non-circuit queues as small as possible. Does the
 circuit scheduler stop pulling cells from the circuit queues at the same
 time that BandwidthRate is reached? I guess we can test as-is and revisit
 this issue if it turns out to be a problem.

 Thanks for the fast branch updates!
