I'm curious about using LEDBAT* for large network transfers, to avoid degrading 
performance of other TCP connections on the device and/or on the entire LAN. 
It's prominently mentioned that Apple uses LEDBAT for software updates (source 
code** is in the kernel open-source repo) but I can't find any documentation of 
how to actually enable it on a socket. Is there an ioctl call to do this? Or is 
this something that's Apple-internal and not available to 3rd party apps?
