On the contrary, a well behaved traffic stream adapts to the speed of the
weakest link. Dropping packets in a TCP stream will cause the sender to
slow down. This is how TCP works! (Well, it really starts at a slow rate
and accelerates until packets disappear, and then the connection slows down
again.) I the real world, it should work like a charm.
