TCP proper doesn't have any real flow control built into it... in (simplistic terms) it simply sends data... and most impls, when they see that packets are being "lost" or cannot be accepted due to bandwidth / buffer etc. limitations, slow down their transmit rate...

There are some QOS implementations... which allow you to do up the "priority" of certain packet types / data streams... and also some impls for doing better shaping of the flows in general... the only one I know of (without spending time searching the net) is http://lartc.org/

That may or may not be what you're looking for .... but it will provide more information on the topic in general...
