We are simply looking for rate limiting on the PVCs , it would be very desirtable feature, because we are using the FreeBSD box as the endpoint of a wide area ATM connection which has a rate limit set, without some traffic shaping at the end host nothing gets through (except for very-very high rate limits) For our purposes, just configuring things from the command line or from a start up script is sufficient, an API though seems very interesting feature.
