Comment(by asn):

 Please see branch `bug3729_take2` in
 `https://git.gitorious.org/obfsproxy/obfsproxy.git`.

 I added four new obfsproxy arguments:
 {{{
 --read-limit=<kb> ~ set the soft limit of incoming traffic to <kb>
 kilobytes per second (default: no limit)
 --read-burst=<kb> ~ set the hard limit of incoming traffic to <kb>
 kilobytes per second (default: no limit)
 --write-limit=<kb> ~ set the soft limit of outgoing traffic to <kb>
 kilobytes per second (default: no limit)
 --write-burst=<kb> ~ set the hard limit of outgoing traffic to <kb>
 kilobytes per second (default: no limit)
 }}}

 Would it make more sense to only have two options, one for the soft limit
 and one for the hard limit, and not care whether it's outgoing or incoming
 traffic?

 Also, if the user specifies only a soft limit (without a hard limit
 (burst)), I spit out a warning and set the hard limit equal to the soft
 limit.
