 ## Bandwidth
 
-I2P routers may route a large amount of general network traffic with their
-default settings. Check your router's configuration to limit the amount of this
-traffic relayed, if desired.
+By default, your node shares bandwidth and transit tunnels with the I2P network
+in order to increase your anonymity with cover traffic, help the I2P router used
+by your node integrate optimally with the network, and give back to the network.
+It's important that the nodes of a popular application like Bitcoin contribute
+as much to the I2P network as they consume.
 
-With `i2pd`, the amount of bandwidth being shared with the wider network can be
-adjusted with the `bandwidth`, `share` and `transittunnels` options in your
