Re: Traffic shaping

An example of using BEEP is:

Peer1 opens up three channels, using BEEP, such that these same three
channels will accept data coming from the Peer2. Peer 2 in the mean
time opens up another three channels, using BEEP, such that these
different channels will accept data coming from Peer1.So far we have 3
channels each for accepting data (and, it goes without saying 3 channels
each for transmitting data ). And we also need 1 channel that is always
usable for channel control data, between Peer 1 and Peer2.

Now say that Peer2 simply has to much data to send over it's, alotted
three channels, to Peer1. Peer 2, using the control channel, asks Peer
1 if it can borrow two of it's channel for awhile and Peer 1 would
become a receiver of five data channels and a transmitter of only 1
channel. Peer 1 either relinquishes or refuses.

Is this along the lines of what you want to happen?

Thanks
