Netnice: Nice Is Not Only For CPUs - A Simple Subnetwork Bandwidth Management Scheme
White Papers This paper presents "Netnice", a mechanism that allows processes to throttle their own network bandwidth consumption. As the name suggests, it is inspired by the Unix nice command in that it allows users and administrators to limit the network...
