 See parent ticket for context.

 We could use some automated tests that exercise clients in a certain
 predictable way (as described in the parent ticket), and record the
 directory bandwidth usage and non-directory bandwidth usage.

 I think that we should do this on the real network, and not on a test
 network: otherwise, there are far too many ways that we can get it wrong.
