It strikes me that bursting should be completely safe as long as the
node's decision whether to burst at any given moment is based entirely
on the availability of bandwidth (supply), and not at all on whether
there is actually a request queued that could use it (demand). When
supply exceeded demand, chaff would be sent; when demand exceeded
supply, the queue would back up.

This scheme might remove the entire point of bursting, though.
