Limiting speed of individual TCP sessions ?

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way to limit the speed of *individual* TCP sessions, but without placing any overall bandwidth limits, and without requiring an explicit QoS entry for every ip address the machine is communicating with ?

The scenario is a mailserver - say you want to limit individual TCP sessions (pop3, smtp etc) to no more than 512Kbit so that an individual session can't hog your bandwidth, but you don't want to place a maximum limit on the TOTAL traffic. Also it's impossible to set up normal per-ip address QoS classes, because there are potentially an almost infinite number of possible ip addresses that might try to connect to the server.

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Simon
