But you could create back pressure. I may want to prevent all my inbound bandwidth from being consumed by somebody uploading a large file, but most web servers are designed to slurp the traffic in as quickly as possible. Dropping the occasional inbound packet would cause the sender to backoff. What's a better way to accomplish this?
