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.
