You can adapt the filter to match _this_ connection.

Other traffic will just use a different path (other qdisc if you prefer)

You can match things like source port, destination port, or fw marks
(using iptables or a socket option)

By letting the stack doing optimal aggregation, you'll have no overhead
an perfect pacing (using high resolution timer)

fq has the maxrate parameter so that you can avoid using
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE in the application.

By shaping the flow, you'll allow TCP stack to build efficient packets,
because tcp_sendmsg() will append data to the last skb in write queue,
thanks to auto corking.
