Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-04-15 Severity: wishlist * Package name : netbrake Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Salvatore Sanfilippo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.hping.org/netbrake/ * License : MIT/X Description : network bandwidth limiting through LD_PRELOAD
Netbrake is an utility to limit the incoming bandwidth used by a process without requiring any kernel modifications, nor root privileges. It uses a small LD_PRELOAD library to hook into the appropriate library and system calls. It is useful for avoiding bandwidth starvation for other applications e.g. WWW or IRC, when download large files over a slow connection. An experimental HTTP filesystem is also provided, allowing URLs to be treated as regular files. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux sakura 2.4.20-xfs+int+lvm+lowlat+preempt #1 Tue Dec 24 10:07:33 GMT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
