Why do people keep trying to do bandwidth-throttling with hardware?  It's
far too much of a pain in the backside!

Use the spiffo 'divert socket' stuff and write a management program that
tracks how much data it has forwarded for each of the classes in a given
period.  This gives you total flexibility, and saves us from trying to
second-guess harebrained ideas 8)
