I'm trying to come up with some way to limit the amount of bandwidth on a socket, so I can have my mail and large files retrieve without slowing down a telnet session that much. I thought I could do this by setting SO_RCVBUF to a small value, but it doesn't seem to change the window size at all when I look at it with tcpdump. I saw something about patches to fix a broken SO_RCVBUF implementation in the mailing list archives, but can't seem to locate them / not sure if they made it in the kernel in the first place. If SO_RCVBUF would do what I want, I'd like a copy of them. :) I could swear I saw a "low-bandwidth ncftp" or something of the sort on sunsite.unc.edu a couple years ago, so I think this is possible (Well, at least in Linux...). It's apparently been deleted though. Anyone know how to do this? ====================================================================== Dan Walters hannibal@cyberstation.net ======================================================================
