Why isn't this part of the kernel? I mean, if you can use "nice" to shape processor usage, then I think bandwidth usage shaping is similar. Also, memory usage shaping might be useful (to hardlimit memory-hungry applications like firefox).
Further, it is kind of clumsy to be limited to processes which are dynamically linked. Why not use the strace-protocol, and intervene with kernel calls that way?
