I think it is just considered good practise to punish misbehaving users
at the moment. Not sure if any vendor has implemented anything yet.

There is an informational RFC out:
http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2309.txt

Unfortunately, they dont mention remedies for misbehaving flows. They do
suggest RED; however, there are variants of RED that exist with specific
intention of punishing misbehaving users.

A really interesting pointer page is at:

cheers,
