prioritize ICMP so acks die, causing inbound data to be retransmitted.
Are you sure you mean ICMP here? It'd be weird to use that for anything related to protocol rate limiting, unless someone is insane enough to use source quench.
If you've got a SW router in front of your connection, you might be better off setting up some in-house QoS so that you don't end up in this situation. I believe people have canned recipes for IP Tables lying around.
That definitely sounds like a bug.
I did manage to find the article I was thinking about, but it was related to a different thing I was trying to remember. IEEE Spectrum, October 2005, "The VOIP Backlash".
