I'll offer one 'low tech' way ..
and hope that someone else laughs and suggests a feature,
application, or protocol that's more elegant.
Serial connections can be configured for any desired line rate.
At the expense of three cables, and six serial interfaces,
you can pipe each subnet across a short PPP link configured at
any rate you want. If you do persue this, you might configure
each serial line somewhat (5%-10%) over the desired rate to allow
elbow room for the additional protocol on the PPP link.
This approach is not great but may may meet some of your needs.
It does provide rate limiting if that's the only objective.
But it does not make effective use of your 512kbps line.
Is there any good reason to limit the bandwidth of subnet .1.0
when there is no contention from other sources?
