"One approach would be to build a meter that looks at the very long-term average rate, and allows the TCP to send so long as that average is less than the target rate. However, this has the severe drawback that if the TCP undersends for some time because it has no data to send, it builds up a credit in the meter that allows it to exceed the average rate for an excessive time."
