Is this upstream or downstream traffic?
If it''s upstream, what causes the variation, eg. is it RADSL and you
get
a long queue in your modem buffer, or is it shaped later at ISP - what
is the link type/behavior ?

Depends on the exact nature of your link, hardware and the direction of
the variable rate. It may be impossible/possible/a bit possible more
detail is needed.
