[nsp] Limiting bandwidth use from the far end of the link

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is solvable, but... we do traffic shaping on some
customers using "traffic-shape". According to Netflow the customer manages
to "suck in" more bandwidth from our international links than as defined in
the shaping.

I suspect this is because of the high "pull" of the clients, which goes
from the US router of our upstreams and across the international line,
to be slow downed only when it reaches our router.

It's not feasible at the moment to colo in the US, though that is a plan, so
the only thing I can think of is to use CAR to hard-limit on the interfaces
facing the outside, and announce these high-volume customers through certain
interfaces only so that they won't be able to "escape."
