Package trickle-1.06-1012

Trickle is a voluntary, cooperative bandwidth shaper. trickle works entirely in userland and easy to use. Currently, trickle supports the shaping of any SOCK_STREAM connection established via the socket(2) interface. Furthermore, trickle will not work with statically linked executables, nor with setuid(2) executables.

trickle(1) can be used with or without a daemon. The daemon, trickled(8) can manage several trickle session at a time. You can start trickled(8) manually, i.e. 'trickled -d 10 -u 20' which limit aggregate trickle(1) download bandwidth consumption to 10 KB/s and upload consumption to 20 KB/s. You can also start trickled(8) during each startup with 'daemonic enable trickle' as root. Edit /sw/etc/daemons/trickle.xml to pass additional option to trickled
