One feature is bandwidth +accounting (making sure we use no more than so many gigabytes in a day) and +hibernation (avoiding network activity while we have used up all/most of our +configured gigabytes). The other feature is clean shutdown, where we stop +accepting new connections for a while and give the old ones time to close. + +The two features are related only in the sense that "soft hibernation" (being +almost out of ) is very close to the "shutting down" state. But it would be +better in the long run to make the two completely separate. + **/ |
