How accurate do you need this control of throughput? To get really accurate rates we had to write our own specialist rate regulated thread library which accounts for any scheduling delay and can even spin if you want low delay variance in the packet dispatch times.
I don't need particular accuracy, "about as slow as dial-up" and "about as slow as broadband" are good enough for my purposes (merely testing a GMail-like AJAXy web app) and I've got that. But I was curious about how one might get accurate rates if you needed. What project did you need such accuracy for? I imagine a real-time system. What did you write the thread library in? C? Links?
