Method packetStats(self, client_bytes, client_pkts, server_bytes, server_pkts)

This function is called whenever the time interval set in packet_stats_interval elapses, or a given number of packets were transmitted. This event receives packet statistics as parameters. It can be used in managing the Quality of Service of the connections; e.g.: to terminate connections with excessive bandwidth requirements (for instance to limit the impact of a covert channel opened when using plug instead of a protocol specific proxy).
