NetworkThrottlingEnabled download speed limit 2x more than configured

Project Member Reported by marchuk@chromium.org, Nov 21

Issue description

ChromeOS version: any
ChromeOS device model: any
Case#: 17533211 

Description:
NetworkThrottlingEnabled download speed limit 2x more than configured

Steps to reproduce: 
1. Setup NetworkThrottlingEnabled as :
{
   "download_rate_kbits": 20000,
   "enabled": true,
   "upload_rate_kbits": 10240
}

2. Test on speedtest.net

Current Behavior / Reproduction: 
40Mb/s Download speed  
10MB/s Upload speed

Expected Behavior: 
20Mb/s Download speed  
10MB/s Upload speed

I suspected maybe speedtest.net was wrong, however, check HAR file attached (filter by word "download, to get actual data downloaded), per screenshot attached

So in 15000 mseconds (15 seconds) it received:
18972591 +
12615626 +
11272147 +
15925185 +
11632595 +
7143397 
=
77561541 bytes

77561541/1048576=received 73.96 MegaBytes in 15 seconds, so speed will be: 73.96/15*8=39.44 Mbit/s, which corresponds to speedtest result.

Video: (where it is configured as 20x20 and showing 40x20):

The throttling in devtools is an approximation. Some details here at Throttling Basics(2) here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/throttling.md

There have been some discussions about a new implementation of throttling at the packet level, but so far there are no plans to pursue that.
