I don't mean making a rule for a specific IP. I mean having a router/fw that will not let any one IP use up more than a specified amount of bandwidth, or be allowed to issue more than X packets per second. An example might be that you didn't want any one source to abuse port 80. I've seen recipes for doing this for specific IPs and nets, and general packets-per-second limiting, but I don't remember ever seeing anything that would satisfy this need.
