Chrome browser process notifies all render processes when there is a change in the network quality. We want this notifications to be less frequent. Currently, the frequency of the notifications is throttled by checking that the new network quality is meaningfully different from the last one. The render processes are notified only if the change in the network quality is large enough (determined using a heuristic).
We should record metrics on how frequently the renderers are notified of the network quality change so that we can tune the heuristic appropriately.
