Throttled is a bandwidth shaping application for Mac OS X and FreeBSD which allows you to cap your upstream bandwidth, prioritize ACK packets, and keep your download speeds high even when your server is sending out at full speed.
Here are some key features of "Throttled":
Allows you to set a global bandwidth cap for all your applications, or multiple caps with different speeds to guarantee all your servers a certain amount of bandwidth.
Allows you to setup priority queues for your network data to guarantee low-latency ssh, telnet, etc connections on your server.
Includes optimizations for many online games including Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Starcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, and Diablo II.
Prioritizes TCP ACK packets to allow consistent bandwidth in both directions even under heavy server load.
Flag for allowing you to throttle local network addresses 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x. (By default only internet bound traffic is throttled)
It uses almost no resources. CPU usage is around 0 - 2% and it uses less than 500k of RAM.
Source code is freely available, and released under the GPL. Please read the COPYING file in the distribution.
What's New:
This release uses deque instead of vector for its priority_queue to improve memory management. This should fix the memory leak some of our users were experiencing.
