Limiting bandwidth - Delphi 2007 ICS components

Question

Hello forum,

Does anybody know how to limit/control the bandwidth of twsocket (client) in ICS components in Delphi? We have a small program that maps a port to squid. The software using ICS components that carries requests from the LAN arrives at one port to the port of squid, and returns the contents back to the originating IP. Can somebody shed some light as how to control the bandwidth to limit to certain KB/s, to keep bad boys out from using whole resources? Some code snippets may be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Example of the Comercial applications are: Netlimiter, Shunra
