As mentioned elsewhere, FQ/pacing does exactly this 'spreading', and not
only for the 'initial' burst, but on all the lifetime of tcp flow, for
example after recovery or idle period.

FQ/pacing is part of linux kernel since 3.12

To play with it, you can set it like that :

tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq quantum 1514 initial_quantum 1514

I believe Steinar had success using FQ/pacing lately, presumably using
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE as well.
