snapshots about the receiver's state. However, in general, sender stats are
much more useful to understand QUIC performance. This fact implies that we could
instrument a QUIC library to observe the sender's state and gather information
about throttling uploads. (Yet, the whole design of Web Connectivity is not
about throttling uploads.

Yet, the whole design of Web Connectivity is not
such that we upload resources, therefore we would need to figure out whether
it is possible to overcome this fundamental limitation first.)

In the same vein, our Web Connectivity methodology does not currently factor in
the possibility of measuring upload speed throttling for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. However,
anecdotal evidence exists that some countries may throttle the upload path or just
have poor upstream connectivity towards interesting websites. A technique that
has sometimes been applied is that of including very large headers into the request
body, even though servers may not necessarily accept such headers.
