[Udpcast] Throttle output "on demand" (Was: Exiting udp-receiver ...)

[David Crider]

Yes, dynamically changing the bandwidth through SNMP messages is what I 
need. I can send you the info on how LI (Logic Innovations) and other 
IPE manufactures talk to the datacasting computers. This will take me a 
couple of days as I'll need to contact Logic Innovations first. Thank 
you for your time and wonderful product and I look forward to sharing 
with the group the GUI front end and GUI user client that I am using for 
my applications as soon as its finished.
