Do you have ref to this proposal?

Imagine the following setup: a network of nodes that trust each other (as
far as spam is concerned) applies a 100 htlc/sec rate limit to the channels
between themselves. Channels to untrusted nodes get a rate of only 1
htlc/sec. Assuming the spammer isn't a trusted node, they can only spam at
1 htlc/s and won't jam up the network?
