What you propose can be compared to repetitively telling a ADHD child to behave, or try to ignore him. Either way, your fucked. If he does listen to you however, he probably don't have ADHD. Good for you. ;) As long as you don't control the the remote host, or a router close to it, you have no "real" control over the bandwidth throttling from that host to your gateway(or whatever). The delaying of ACK's could in worst case cause the remote host to resend packets because it assumes it was lost. This of course depends on the type of traffic and/or protocol. -- Magne
