NBN here in Australia do this for their wholesale FTTN/B VDSL2
product, injecting the downstream and upstream sync speed into
PPPoE/DHCP requests. This still depends on the retail service
providers to make use of these attributes from their BNG to configure
the shaper.

NBN is an example again. Their documented behaviour is to police
traffic in both directions. Most ISPs then shape in the downstream -
and it's up to a tightly managed (TR-069 ?) ISP HGW or a diligent end
user to shape traffic in the upstream. Many - probably even most users
have no shaping whatsoever in the upstream, only a policer.

And then there is their new FTTdp product, where it is not currently
possible to determine the real VDSL2 sync speed. If there's a drop of
rain it will resync at a lower speed in the upstream, and then
everything ends up queuing inside the supplied modem...
