One detail worth documenting is how the bandwidth budget interacts with peer selection. If the limit is global per node, a few slow or high-volume peers could consume it before transactions reach others; if it is per peer, the aggregate outbound amplification still needs a bound. The policy and accounting unit would make the new limit easier to reason about under adversarial traffic.
