TCP window scaling can get the remote end to slow down and reduce your incoming packet rate. Queueing UDP flows individually and introducing artificial latency can control well behaved UDP applications. Read how proprietary vendors like BlueCoat PacketShaper and Allot Communications NetEnforcer devices can shape inbound traffic. They can also shape a single tcp flow asymmetrically, ie. provide 1Mbps of downstream bandwidth for POP3 and only 128kbps of upstream (POP is download only). - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
