So no-one needs or wants to twiddle knobs on home gateways to improve family harmony. In the first instance, app developers have the interests of family harmony at heart. They don't want to write apps that pee off their users. And if there's a chance they will be peeved, the app developer can add a knob in the app.
I think separation of concerns is appropriate here: if I want to manage some particular flows in the context of a home network, I'll bring up trickle. The daemon, not the protocol! See http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle Then I get an explicit, user-visible knob to manage any special cases, such as a over-long transfer eating my wife's more important transfer! --dave c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
