TRICKLED(8) System Manager's Manual TRICKLED(8) 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 ses- sions. 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 de- termines with what intervals trickled will try to let the application transcieve 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 ap- plications while slightly larger values (1 - 10 s) are better for applications that need bulk transfer. This pa- rameter 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 deter- mines 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.
