 It's unclear whether the "average stream capacity regardless of path"
 includes the path from the client to the entry, and the exit to the
 internet server. Pragmatically, in the current design, it has to include
 client and internet server. (Or, in the case of onion services, client and
 service.)

 I don't know if this affects our design at all, but it should be clarified
 in the spec.
