Re: Traffic shaping

Maybe your looking for BEEP (*Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol) RFC
3080. It's a peer to peer protocol that allows you to create channels
over TCP. I believe there are implementations of the BEEP protocol in
C and Java. There is also a book called "BEEP: The Definitive Guide" by
Marshall T Rose, who is also the author of the BEEP protocol. *
