I'm curious: what would be the best method of implementing a bandwith limiter on an interface that is lossless? I'm having to limit UDP with no back channel, so I can't reply on TCP retransmits to make up for packets being dropped. DUMMYNET drops packets that overflow it's queue size so it doesn't seem to work out of the box. Ideally, I would like applications sending packets to the interface to block when the outgoing queue is full. One idea I thought about is trying to use netgraph to implement a network interface that does this limiting and then hands the data off to a real network interface that it is attached to, but I also don't want to have to add netgraph support to a bunch of network drivers to get this to work either.
