Out of not quite idle curiousity, what are you trying to accomplish?
Instead of using tc to set a zero rate, you could perhaps try using tc to set a
delay? If it doesn't offer microseconds of delay, pehaps setting a delay and
then eliminating it after your own pause will do what you want - depends of
course on what it is you really want. Your saying you wanted microsecond
granularity suggests you don't want to suspend traffic for very long?
