Comment (by cohosh):

 The first question to answer is where to do the bandwidth test from. Here
 are some options:

 - Have the broker do it. This would require adding WebRTC libraries to the
 broker which would significantly impact the size

 - Have a different endpoint do it and either hardcode this endpoint at the
 proxies or have the broker facilitate communicating with the probe point.
 This way, the endpoint could be behind a NAT.

 - Measure throughput of real traffic that passes through the proxy. This
 has a potential impact on client privacy and we should be careful of how
 we do this.
