    Differentiate service based on the dimensions of the monitored and enforced windows, not an arbitrary static sphincter.

    How would you explain that in a simple way people can understanding?

      If there’s no traffic jams, you’re free to drive however much it want

      If there’s traffic jams, the more trucks your company have in traffic the lower priority you get for them. That gives everybody access because those with the most trucks can take some off the street to raise the priority for the others a bit, and that in turn gives room to others

      As an example, the initial unconstrained window would be measured in minutes:

      Small: 1 minute
      Medium: 5 minutes
      Large: 30 minutes

      The sliding window and tally falloff could also vary. It would help the network providers better utilise and monitor their networks, and users can plan for big downloads by keeping their service quiet for a period before they begin.
