If Real Audio uses some congestion avoidance algorithm it should be
possible to model the conditions that get the sender to slow down.
SunRPC/NFS uses congestion avoidance so it is possible. One possible
way would be too simply do the shaping for incoming traffic and wait
until congestion avoidance on the sender kicks in.
Some links for TCP rate control are at http://www.packeteer.com/tcprate/
