i haven't seen the beginning of the thread but surely both altq
and dummynet can help, with the CBQ/WFQ support.

In the case of dummynet, you can pace incoming traffic as well,
at your endpoint. This means you act after the bottleneck,
but the effect is that this way
you will delay acks, and so slow down the connection eating a lot of
bandwidth, and in the steady state this keeps the queue very
short even before the bottleneck.
Much like what products like packeteer do.
