"Trickle is a "portable lightweight userspace
bandwidth shaper". It's an LD_PRELOAD module that
puts a rate cap on the bandwidth (upload,
download, or both) of a process or group of
processes."
(I guess someone (Sridhar?) was looking for a
user
space bandwidth
shaper a few days ago...)
Yes. But I dont' think that is what I want.
Trickle just limits the bandwidth consumption of
programs, but I don't how that manages `dynamic
bandwidth adjustment` in case of high priority (short
time) requests, such has getting a html file, over low
priority (long time) stuffs like downloading files.
From trickle man page::
-u rate Limit the upload bandwidth
consumption to rate KB/s.
-d rate Limit the download bandwidth
consumption to rate KB/s.
-w size Set peak detection window size to
size KB. This determines how aggressive trickle is at
eliminating bandwidth consumption peaks. Lower values
will be more aggressive, but may also result in over
shaping. The default value (512 KB) is usually
sufficient.

I don't know what's the difference between -d/-u and
-w. Will not the -d/-u takes care of that (-w)?
