Improve Network Performance with Delay Control for Send and Receive Circuits

[c1truz]

network circuit design?

I was wondering if there is a schematic or if anyone knows of a way to delay the send and/or the receive of a network cable. Preferable separate circuits. For example can I control how fast people on my network receive but not control the send. May be in the wrong place but i really need help on this one. Thanks

Well the quick answer is no. The reason being is that the send and receive speeds need to be syncornized. With different send and receive speed there would be a lot of lost data due to one computer sending at a faster rate than the receiving computer can receive.

Depends on the implementation of your particular network. But for most consumer networks on the market today, I would say the answer is no. However, this is something that can be controlled in software. For example: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO.html

Well, you're not going to get the desired behavior by modifying the network at the physical layer. In fact, you'll just screw everything up by even trying such a thing. Instead, as es said, you should be looking at software-level or router-level solutions. Many routers can limit bandwidth.
