Except of course, where bursty is high bandwidth, low priority
traffic which can be buffered and used effectively as a form of chaff
fill when higher prio traffic is satisfied.

By making such streams a first class citizen (design wise - e.g. low
risk torrents), we may find that chaff/wheat ratio ultimately gets
really low (i.e., very efficient overall network b/w utilization).
