Being interested in a bandwidth limiter and observing this dialog, I am still no closer at all to understanding the specific technical reasons why you don't like it. Is the code too obtuse to review? Does it plug in in unsafe ways (e.g. resource depletion problems)? Is there a likely effect on other streams drivers? By every interface driver, do you mean pipes, SCSI etc?
