If you read from socket at fixed rate, it's TCP receive buffer is emptied at
same rate. TCP announces free buffer in receive window field, so congestion
window on sender side is also adjusted, thus limiting send speed to the rate
you read from socket on receiver side.

Subject: torrent client traffic shaping question
Hiya
I got this question to ask, and I was hoping the TCP/IP gurus would be
able to help me understand this.
K you know how with traffic shapping you can control only the traffic
leaving you, how it is that torrent clients say they can control the
download as well as the upload. I would think the client can only control
the upload.
TIA
Brent Clark
