In the days before Jim, Dave et all stuck a spear in bufferbloat, I was an occasional but happy user of trickle and trickled. Notably where I had a need to keep a network from overloading a slow up-bound link! See http://monkey.org/~marius/trickle, and notably .../trickle.pdf It's probably time to take another look at it as an example of a local service manager, and as a known functional starting point. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
