+/* Fields for accounting logic.  Accounting overview:
+ *
+ * Accounting is designed to ensure that more than N bytes are sent in
+ * either direction over a given interval (currently, one month,
+ * starting at 0:00 GMT an arbitrary date within the month).  We could
+ * try to do this by choking our bandwidth to a trickle, but that
+ * would make our streams useless.  Instead, we estimate what our
+ * bandwidth usage will be, and guess how long we'll be able to
+ * provide that much bandwidth before hitting our limit.  We then
+ * choose a random time within the accounting interval to come up (so
+ * that we don't get 50 Tors running on the 1st of the month and none
+ * on the 30th).
+ *
+ * Each interval runs as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. We guess our bandwidth usage, based on how much we used
+ *     last time.  We choose a "wakeup time" within the interval to come up.
+ * 2. Until the chosen wakeup time, we hibernate.
+ * 3. We come up at the wakeup time, and provide bandwidth until we are
+ *    "very close" to running out.
+ * 4. Then we go into low-bandwidth mode, and stop accepting new
+ *    connections, but provide bandwidth until we run out.
+ * 5. Then we hibernate until the end of the interval.
+ *
+ * If the interval ends before we run out of bandwdith, we go back to
+ * step one.
