Outgoing bandwidth allocation in bitswap

[kbala444]

Bitswap needs some way of allocating outgoing bandwidth between peers if something like propshare will be implemented. How would we implement something like that?

we're probably going to need to rearchitect bitswap a little bit to use a single stream per peer. This stream can then be rate limited using a normal approach (token bucket)

The hard part will be determining how much outgoing bandwidth we have available. and distinguishing between different connections, we can push gigabit to someone on our LAN, but only broadband speeds to someone over the open web.
