This throttling parameter does already exist in EMI/UCP. Not sure if 
its used in SMPP.
in EMI/UCP it simply waits a few miliseconds ( 1/throughput in sec) 
before continuning processing items.

this is easy to do but it limits you on throughput and the SMSC still 
might require a slow down because it is overloaded in general.
