trickle Description

trickle provides a lightweight, portable, per-application bandwidth shaper. trickle is a portable lightweight userspace bandwidth shaper. It can run in collaborative mode (together with trickled) or in stand alone mode.trickle works by taking advantage of the unix loader preloading. Essentially it provides, to the application, a new version of the functionality that is required to send and receive data through sockets. It then limits traffic based on delaying the sending and receiving of data over a socket. trickle runs entirely in userspace and does not require root privileges.INSTALL$ ./configure$ make$ su# make installWhat's New in This Release:· The polling functionality (poll() and select()) was reworked. · Protocol messages are encoded using XDR in order to allow for host to host communications and sharing of bandwidth management. · A control protocol and utility, tricklectl, was added in order to control a running trickled.
