Congestion control in device driver other than dev->tbusy?

Hi list,

I'm searching for a method to stop Linux flooding a network driver with
packets, but in a little more sophisticated manner than with tbusy. Is
there a way to say "I don't want THIS packet right now, please queue it
for later". An even better way would be to do this on a per neighbour
basis: "Dont give me more packets for that neighbour until I tell you".
Is this implemented somewhere already? Can the neighbour or hh_cache
code be tweaked to do this?

Gruss,
Matthias
