The majority of the traffic is http. Thus, if I put up a web proxy on either

Does this sound like it could work?
Yes.
You just needs to make your proxy select the appropriate congestion
control via setsockopt().
rc = setsockopt(socket, SOL_TCP, TCP_CONGESTION, char *name);
returns 0 on success, <0 on error.
alternatively maybe the routing could be extended with congestion control
information, but it looks like this may require a fair bit of changes..
