-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Network scanners like torflow and sbws maintain detailed information about
 relay load. This information is only collected occasionally (perhaps once
 or twice a day), over a few seconds of measurement.

 How sensitive is this bandwidth information?

 Should we round these bandwidths to:
 * a number of decimal places?
 * a set amount of client usage that we want to protect?
