Hi all,

I was wandering if there is a Linux program that can limit data throughput of a pipe - in actual bytes per second?.

From what I gather, applicable for the purposes would be

• bfr, however, it has been removed from Debian (Removal candidate: bfr)
• cpipe, however, it seems the lowest resolution it will support is kB/s, meaning that buffer writes can still reach MB/s ([SOLVED] Is there a program to limit terminal pipe speed? - Page 2 - Ubuntu Forums)

What I'd want is to be able to specify something like

cat example.txt | ratelimit -Bps 100 > /dev/ttyUSB0

... and actually have a single byte from example.txt sent each 1/100 = 0.01 sec (or 10 ms) to 'output'..

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Cheers!
