Doesn't that depend entirely on the queuing and session mapping algorithm? If you profile for bandwidth-per-source-ip, shouldn't that apply exactly the same restriction regardless of how many connections are started? (with multiple-connections people losing a bit because connection start/stop takes bandwidth they could use for data instead)

Yes and no. Yes in theory, using bandwidth-per-source-IP caps like you suggest could be used to solve this. No in practice, because the prevalence of NATs puts many users behind the same IP address, meaning that unfair users can still hog the upstream bandwidth from everyone else in the same NAT.

What we really want is something more like bandwidth-per-end-host caps.
