-----------------------------+---------------------
 The bandwidth limits specific by a Tor config and available via control
 port are very limited and coarse.

 It would be useful to support dynamic limits, additional consensus flags,
 and control port capabilities to support dynamic bandwidth limits that
 adjust to peak load patterns to maximize off peak use of idle bandwith
 while be able to efficiently handle changing router capacities at a finer
 than consensus level granularity.

 Preliminary or stop-gap efforts have included control port scripting to
 alter HSdir, Dir, Exit policy, egress shaping, and other techniques to
 achieve poor or moderate control over bandwidth usage beyond config max
 rates.
