It +can run in collaborative mode (together with trickled) or in stand +alone mode. trickle works by taking advantage of the unix loader +preloading. Essentially it provides, to the application, a new +version of the functionality that is required to send and receive +data through sockets. It then limits traffic based on delaying the +sending and receiving of data over a socket. Trickle runs entirely +in userspace and does not require root privileges. |
