 > quick question about the new bandwidth file 1.4.0 headers: shouldn't
 data_period be in the header information? The spec defines it as "last
 data_period days. (data_period is 5 by default.)" but unless I'm missing
 something there's no way for the bandwidth file reader to know if
 data_period is the default or something else (and by extension what time
 period all these stats are over).
