What I am trying to do =20 is limit the outbound bandwidth of my services and this should be =20 perfectly possible as I control the output. Also, the reason for this need is that some services use =20 burst-bandwidth and I have many peaks and lows throughout the day. =20 This means that my carrier who bills me by the 95th percentile is =20 having a field day. For the services that my server offers it's not =20 imperative that they get rid of the client in 1 second instead of 5 =20 for example. In this sense, stretching out 1MB of traffic over 10 =20 seconds is more beneficial towards my 95th than if I stretch it over 2 =20 seconds for example.
