trickle – bandwidth shaper

trickle is a lightweight userspace bandwidth shaper.

Currently, trickle supports the shaping of any SOCK_STREAM connection established via the socket interface. Furthermore, trickle will not work with statically linked executables, nor with setuid executables.

trickle is highly configurable; download and upload rates can be set separately, or in an aggregate fashion.

This is free and open source cross-platform software.
