It can be done with IPv4 as-is. Build an IP-in-IP tunnel. Have the gateways doing encapsulation to slap higher priority on the packets, so there won't be any loss. Place a rate limitation on traffic entering the tunnel. Much better than CBR SVC in many ways. I know of at least one company which plans to offer that kind of functionality, at wire speed :) --vadim
