Why don't VM use a "rolling" STM system, where high users are capped only when the network traffic is heavy? If traffic is not suffering, there is no need for STM.

For example, if traffic is 90% capacity at 8.30pm, the top 3% downloaders (over the past hour) are capped. The situation is reviewed every half hour.
