Comment (by uiouio27):

 I am bit confused, after reading the technical documentation of Snowflake
 (https://keroserene.net/snowflake/technical/#35--recovery-and-
 multiplexing). In the "Recovery and Multiplexing" section it says: "...In
 any case, snowflake seeks to maintain high reliability and connectivity,
 and a high quality browsing experience for the user in the Tor Browser
 use-case, by having snowflake clients and proxies multiplex each other.
 When an individual WebRTC DataChannel fails, the snowflake client renews
 with a new WebRTC peer...". Does that mean that the required feature is
 covered? As far as I understand, that would switch the connection when a
 proxy leaves but not when it is very slow. Would it be still convenient to
 utilize several proxies but coordinately and congestion-based sending
 traffic to them?
