Atlas makes use of Onionoo as its backend and the semantics behind these
fields can be found in Onionoo's documentation:
<https://onionoo.torproject.org/protocol.html>

In particular, you are interested in the fields are "bandwidth_rate",
"bandwidth_burst", "observed_bandwidth", and "advertised_bandwidth".

Cheers,
Philipp
