WOW. Thanks, guys. You've given me lots to chew on. As for not
being able to throttle in-bound connections, I had that realization
while taking a walk today. But then I asked myself: couldn't you
just slow down ACKs to the remote host? Or does the fact that TCP
can re- order out-of-sequence packets make that moot?

The TCP window size hack won't care about direction so long as you set
both wmem and rmem values and/or have applications make both SO_SNDBUF
and SO_RCVBUF settings.
