Most of our local traffic goes down our "long" links ("long" is complicated 
with FOAF). "Short" links can get some data on local requests but will need 
more time / more samples.

Can we use this to our advantage for security? E.g. by making it hard to stay 
connected as a long link? Make high-HTL not count towards LRU? Wouldn't 
anything we do foul up topology? Not necessarily - the proportion of long links 
seems closely related to the amount of local requests we do. OTOH it probably 
would be a problem, not something we should embark upon lightly.

The alternatives are:
- Limit any one node to 30% of high HTL traffic, as well as imposing the global 
limit.
- Random route while HTL is high / while HTL is maximum.

The last is probably the best option. Thoughts?
