If I understand correctly....
UDP has no such thing as flow control. So even though your machine reads
only X packets per second, the sending machine is still sending and
you're still receiving. If the packets build up too far your machine
will drop them, but you've already used the bandwidth to get them there
before they were dropped!

Can someone explain why bandwidth limiting might not be such a simple
thing? Volodya tried, with his massive-incoming-packet theory
(40KiB :p), but that's not true -- freenet packets are about 1KiB. So,
is there not a central class/wrapper in place that feeds the node with
at most X KiB / second? Ie. it will only read X UDP packets per second?
