Because the packets have already arrived. If someone throws 2Mbits/second
of UDP at your line by the time you receive it you can't slow it down. Its
arrived.

With protocols that respond to packet loss with flow control of their own (ie
TCP) you can pretend not to have heard them and thus slow the session down.
There is a patch for this somewhere - I think Andrea wrote it but Im not sure
