Hi henry, for egress it's "easy",
for ingress, it works "out of the box" with protocols that TCP which adapt to packet drop, since you are able to drop packets selectively, the specific TCP flows will addapt speed down.
UDP is a different beast, and requires inter-node communication or ECN signaling to tell the other end (or intermediate routers) to drop packets before they reach the node. It can be still done.
It's a good point, and in fact, I was talking about instance-egress here, so let's scope that for now, and let's look at instance-ingress in the future.
