[libtorrent] Bandwidth limits for local and remote peers?

[m***@posteo.de]

Hello,
my understanding is that a bandwidth limit is applied to all peers.
In our setup, we have local peers (within a location) and remote peers
(from other locations).

Is it thinkable to apply individual bandwidth limits for local and
remote peers?
| Peer | Upstream | Downstream |
| Local | 8 Mbs | 8 Mbs |
| Remote | 4 Mbs | 4 Mbs |


Best regards,
Markus

in libtorrent 1.1 fine-grained limits can be set based on IP ranges and
types of connections. You have to define a peer_class and assign a filter
to it and settings.
