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.

Trickle then limits traffic based on delaying the sending and receiving of data over a socket. Trickle doesn\'t require root privileges because it runs entirely in userspace.Requirements:
