We need to bear in mind here that bandwidth is often not symmetrical. I have 1Mbps incoming and only 256kbps outgoing. I can easily consume all of someone's outgoing 256k for example and have 768kbp of incoming bandwidth left. Worse still, it might not be possible for another node (with only 256kbps outgoing bandwith) to determine that I actually *have* 1Mbps incoming if I choose to lie about it.
