[erlang-questions] Limit the Network Bandwidth per application

[Vans S]

This is more difficult then it appears. The standard way is to use cgroups or window quotas (per user/process).  

The other way is to throttle at the interface level, 
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-traffic-shaping-using-tc-to-control-http-traffic/.

Yet another way is to use virtualization and set quotas on the container/vm.

Yet another way is to mark the packets coming from your process so pf/iptables/tc/other can traffic shape it.


Probably the most straightforward way is to simply count every call to send/recv in Erlang itself and count the amount of bytes sent/recv then do math.


I would probably go for the cgroups or virtualization approach personally.

Thank you for the link Jesper.

Actually, any TCP bandwidth limiting (upload, download) code will make it.

I would like to learn how to implement such features in practice.

See https://github.com/jlouis/rlimit but mind you, there is an issue as well: https://github.com/jlouis/rlimit/issues/2 :)
