You can limit with iptables aswell as drop.

I just looked and AFAICT you will need a newer kernel than the 2.6.5 
that your suse is using maybe suse do a more recent one - I don't know 
about doing kernels on suse - you'll have to see suse docs or ask on a 
suse group about doing kernels as you haven't done it before.

The option that you need selected after doing a make menuconfig is 
packet actions in Qos and/or fair queuing under networking options under 
networking support under Device drivers.

When you select that you can then select policing actions and it will be 
the new policer.

I don't know where your current config is - but try and find it and use 
it as a base when doing a new kernel - you can load it from the make 
menuconfig menus.
