## trickle-1.07 – lightweight userspace bandwidth shaper

## Description

    trickle is a portable lightweight userspace bandwidth shaper.  It can
    run in collaborative mode (together with trickled) or in stand alone
    mode.  trickle works by taking advantage of the unix loader preloading.
    Essentially it provides, to the application, a new version of the
    functionality that is required to send and receive data through sockets.
    It then limits traffic based on delaying the sending and receiving of
    data over a socket.  trickle runs entirely in userspace and does not
    require root privileges.
