Bugtraq: Slow down TCP-connections using spoofed ICMP Source Quench?

Slow down TCP-connections using spoofed ICMP Source Quench?

Happy people out there!

Have there ever been experiments published, trying to deliberately slow down
TCP-connections by sending spoofed ICMP Source Quench messages to the mainly
sending party? (This is similar as destination unreachable attacks, but not
that drastic).

If this attack would be possible and automated, one could slow down
connecteions at will, harrassing people. It's not really a D.O.S but funny
enough.. (like route's "sloth").

Request for comments....

PS: If there are publications about this sort of attack, please point me in
the right direction. Otherwise I'd appreciate your comments, whether is
attack would be applicable.
