Thanks for your reply.  I looked at wondershaper, and I could not tell
from the documentation whether it actually limited the rate of packets
transmitted, and policed incoming packets, in a reliable fashion.

In other words, all the documentation I see is written as if it is
addressing the case of a residential customer with a bandwidth-limited
connection (cable modem, say), that has large queues, and arranges to
shape on the box instead of on the connection's queues, allowing for
better and more sensitive control.

But it still seemed (from what I read) as if it tries to keep the pipe
as full as possible, merely reordering packets carefully, in which case
I'm sure to lose, because I *don't want* the pipe as full as possible; I
want to dribble bits out the pipe to conform to the pricing I have
agreed with my ISP.

Am I missing something?
