We want to limit the total amount of bandwidth consumed, based on
the formula 2U + D <= L. If we used two pipes, there would be no
way to keep track of the sum.
What I need (and am not sure if DUMMYNET can currently supply) is a
pipe that allows you to feed it a packet and say, "Count this X
times toward the bandwidth limit." (In our case, X could be an
integer, but in some cases it MIGHT be helpful to allow it to be a
fixed point or real number.) If X was not specified, it'd be
assumed to be unity -- both for backward compatibility and in
keeping with POLA.
