// Tracks statistics about the bandwidth metrics over time.  In order to
// measure, this class needs to know when individual streams are in progress,
// so that it can know when to discount idle time.  The BandwidthMetrics
// is unidirectional - it should only be used to record upload or download
// bandwidth, but not both.
//
// Note, the easiest thing to do is to just measure each stream and average
// them or add them.  However, this does not work.  If multiple streams are in
// progress concurrently, you have to look at the aggregate bandwidth at any
// point in time.
//
//   Example:
//      Imagine 4 streams opening and closing with overlapping time.
//      We can't measure bandwidth by looking at any individual stream.
//      We can only measure actual bandwidth by looking at the bandwidth
//      across all open streams.

// Example usage:
//
//   BandwidthMetrics tracker;
//
//   // When a stream is created
//   tracker.StartStream();
//
//   // When data is transferred on any stream
//   tracker.RecordSample(bytes);
//
//   // When the stream is finished
//   tracker.StopStream();
