it is not difficult to limit UDP as well, you clone the two functions
tcp_ip_input() and tcp_ip_output() with almost identical ones,
udp_ip_input() and udp_ip_output, and establish the proper calls between
the udp and ip layers. You can use the same (global) bw limit for both
TCP and UDP, or set up different limits for TCP and UDP (e.g. to limit
NFS or multicast traffic)...

I have not the time to work on it now, but it is not complex, really.

	Cheers
