I have a general question about TCP/IP interfacing. Does the receiver
*HAVE* to signal the sender that the packet has gotten through? What
about any choke point along the path fromt he sender to the reciever.
How does the choke point say "whoa! I'm overloaded! Slow down!"?

This is probably a bad
First of all, many thanks for the responses.
Well, I think I have a theoretical solution.
Situation:
I am happy ftp'ing a big new kernel.tar.gz from ftp.kernel.org.
What happens is, ftp.kernel.org send me the data of the kernel.tar.gz in
big packets.
I ( actually my PC) receive this data and r

Hi Wim,
You can change priority on the in.ftp daemon, but I'm not sure it
would make much difference.
You can do this using renice on the in.ftpd daemon. I show the
results of my test below on ftp on 10mb network.
I'm not sure how much difference it would made on a modem
connection, but I'd be

At the recieving end of this, you really can't control it. 2.2 will have
the ability to put priority on different protocols, but doing so on
incoming traffic makes very little difference.

You can. :) (See below)

But I know the is a Windows utility called GetRight which does
exactly what I want
, but I want it on Linux.
In GetRight you specify the maximum throughput and the speed
will always be less than the maximum specified.
Any ideas how I could this in Linux ???

Hello all,
I have a ppp-modem(33.6) connection to my ISP.
I would like to change the priority of the different protocol I use.
Example:
I am FTP'ing a new kernel(+/- 10MB) at max speed (4K/s).
If I would start surfing(http) now, the speed of webpages coming through
would be terrible. So I would
