limit home network bandwidth per node

I didn't want to dig up an extremely old thread, and since search brought back few items in such a regard, i opened new thread. Hope thats cool w/ you guys.

The old thread is: http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archiv.../t-291754.html

My idea is that it would be much easier(sorta) and much more reliable to simply hook windows firewall or QoS packet scheduler(via code cave preferably - assuming a mem patch fails), and simply add a 'sleep(variableRate)' where variableRate = 10ms to ... say 100ms. Wouldn't you guys agree?

I mean windows firewall (assuming it's enabled, of course) must intercept all the packets to determine it's protocol(port) - and thus to determine whether to allow dispatching or not. So, assuming it's so resident in memory, why not hook it and sleep it?

Just an idea I thought I run by all of you gurus. Any comments/suggestions?

I'll go ahead and pull out OllyDebug and see what I can do. will post results if I get any progress, but do let me know if you have any comments/suggestions! I'm flying semi-blind here.
