In the days before Jim, Dave et all stuck a spear in bufferbloat, I was
an occasional but happy user of trickle and trickled. Notably where I
had a need to keep a network from overloading a slow up-bound link! See
http://monkey.org/~marius/trickle, and notably .../trickle.pdf
It's probably time to take another look at it as an example of a local
service manager, and as a known functional starting point.
