Re: setting bandwidth

This seems to be nice Idea to send callbacks.
But I suggest to add some timer on top of it. Like If the bandwidth drops
below a certain minimum level, then it should wait for a predefined window
time, if the bandwidth is still less than the minimum limit, then only it
should send a call back.
Because there are many network scenarios, that affects the bandwidth for a
minute period of time, and recover to its normal state soon.

Thanks,
Kiran.
