[tor-relays] Understanding bandwidth rate

[BugZ]

Why do you claim burst is not a rate?

If the amount of data is not measured relative to time, how is it relevant?

the internal variable is Relay_*Bandwidth*_Burst

Doesn't "bandwidth" infer rate?  BW is defined as "a measurement of 
bit-rate <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit-rate>"
