Traffic shaping is done at IP or TCP level, while the up/down load

Hi
I posted the same Q on netfilters mailinglist. This was one of the
answers I got ....

If you read from socket at fixed rate, it's TCP receive buffer is
emptied at same rate. TCP announces free buffer in receive window field,
so congestion window on sender side is also adjusted, thus limiting send
speed to the rate you read from socket on receiver side.
