NAME

     trickled — userspace bandwidth manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

     trickled [-h] [-v] [-V] [-f] [-s] [-d rate] [-u rate] [-t seconds] [-l length] [-p priority] [-c file]
              [-n path] [-N seconds] [-w size]

DESCRIPTION

     trickled is a userspace bandwidth manager daemon.  trickled manages several trickle(1) sessions at a time,
     shaping across multiple sessions.

     The options are as follows:

     -v           Increases the verbosity level (can be specified multiple times).

     -V           Prints version.

     -f           Runs trickled in the foreground.

     -s           Uses syslog for all output (instead of stderr).

     -d rate      Limit the download bandwidth consumption to rate KB/s.

     -u rate      Limit the upload bandwidth consumption to rate KB/s.

     -t seconds   Set smoothing time to seconds s.  The smoothing time determines with what intervals trickled
                  will try to let the application transceive data.  Smaller values will result in a more
                  continuous (smooth) session, while larger values may produce bursts in the sending and
                  receiving data.  Smaller values (0.1 - 1 s) are ideal for interactive applications while
                  slightly larger values (1 - 10 s) are better for applications that need bulk transfer.  This
                  parameter is customizable on a per-application basis via trickled.conf(5).  The default value
                  is 5 s.

     -l length    Set smoothing length to length KB.  The smoothing length is a fallback of the smoothing time.
                  If trickled cannot meet the requested smoothing time, it will instead fall back on sending
                  length KB of data.  The default value is 10 KB.

     -p priority  Set default priority to priority.

     -c file      Use the configuration file file.  This file must be of the format documented in
                  trickled.conf(5).

     -n path      Set socket name to path.  By default, trickled uses /tmp/.trickled.sock.

     -N seconds   Notifies user of total bandwidth consumption every seconds s.

     -w size      Set peak detection window size to size KB.  This determines how aggressive trickled is at
                  eliminating bandwidth consumption peaks.  Lower values will be more aggressive, but may also
                  result in over shaping.  The default value (512 KB) is usually sufficient.

EXAMPLES

     trickled -u 10 -d 20

     Limit aggregate trickle(1) upload bandwidth consumption to 10 KB/s and download consumption to 20 KB/s.
