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.
