Since my original email, I have added more features and more sophisticated rate limiting features, namely: * constant delay time between each write (rate limiting by changing buffer sizes) * constant buffer sizes, (rate limiting by changing write times) * rate limiting by changing buffer sizes and write times * -s option to tweak rate limiting throttling The -s option controls the damping behaviour, which can be tweaked for different kinds of variable rate inputs. Some analysis of this can be seen on the sluice project page: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/sluice/ I wonder if this justifies sluice being reconsidered?
