Mika,

We have implemented st2+ (rfc1819) and rsvp for freebsd beginning with
2.1.5. Our implementation includes resource (bandwidth) reservation,
management, policing, etc for WAN services such as ppp and fr. If I
understand your question correctly, the bandwidth management components
may address what you are looking to do.

Regards,

Greg Burch
