Withholding pacing would seem the simplest and most consistent
manner of ensuring flow control.  One's implementation should,
though, anticipate buffering constaints and possibly do this
BEFORE the window is actually up.  In going from LAN to WAN,
the time differential is so large that an inside flow window
(below the actual window) we've found helpful.

Race conditions, yoyo-ing and other normal flow control problems
are not eliminated, but hopefully reduced.  The definition of
timing parameters for coming out of this state would assist
in the implementation (we do this at a simple level).
