Yes, I'd really like an API for controlling the bandwidth use better.

I've seen in Chrome that a PeerConnection ramps up to 2Mbps and then
tries to stay there.

When I have multiple video tracks going over the same PeerConnection,
they together have to share the 2Mbps, which usually ends up in having
one video track continue to be active and the others drop in and out
all the time. That is not sustainable and we should provide bandwidth
limitations on a per track basis.

Also, when I have a video at 640x480 and another one at 1080x720, they
both get limited to 2Mbps independently. Even if I know that I have
hundreds of Mbits available, I can't currently tell Chrome to give the
1080x720 video 10Mbps, while the 640x480 can continue with 2Mbps.

HTH,
Silvia.
