I think that you got it right... we we should have an "available bandwidth
only" class, which is not the same as "best effort".

(We can also use a different instanceID if that reuses code paths better.
 WAY BACK, I suggested this, but it has other issues)

We might also want to define what "best effort" means in a 6tisch network.

I think it's one byte at the 6lowRH level to send the bits which were
otherwise zero and compressed out.
