[Cppcms-users] bandwidth throtteling

[Markus R. <us...@ma...>]

Hello!

Is it possible to do some bandwidth throtteling for an asynchronous 
application?

The idea is to drop some data in a stream using SSE when the connection is 
too slow to send everything.

What happens if more data is sent with async_flush_output than the client 
(connection) can handle. Which part of the system does the buffering in this 
scenario?

A simple approach for the bandwidth throtteling would be to get a number how 
many async_flush_output are currently unprocessed (e.g. by increment when  
async_flush_output is registered and decrement inside the callback) - and 
based on that number - drop data. Is this an useful approach?

best regards
