Subject: feature request: option to throttle bandwidth

it would be very useful to limit the bandwidth used by this module. Something like MaxBandwidthDown and MaxBandwidthUp.
Bandwidth throttling is a convoluted problem with several possible use cases. What if there is more than one component in the same app? Some people would want to throttle bandwidth across them, while others would want separate throttles for each. Should other sockets be considered in the bandwidth throttling pool? etc. I don't foresee having the resources to design and implement this myself. At the very least, I'll need help figuring out exactly what people want---which I imagine is a little bit of everything. In that case, people will need to help build this feature. Rejecting the request until someone steps up to assist.
