rsync - Sep 2012 - dynamic bwlimit with rsync

Hi,

Is there a way to do rsync with varying bwlimit during the transfer. I tried to
look using Linux 'tc'  but it looks trivial. Do somebody has working
model for it?
Our pipe is limited and we don't want to give everything to rsync, We have
situation where we want rsync transfers to scale up or down within a specified
bandwidth limit. For e.g. if there are two (or multiple)  rsyncs running
parallel they should be contained in max bwlimit (say like 1Mbps) and if there
is only one running it should use the entire allocated bandwidth limit.

Instead of trying to use --bwlimit, take a look at "trickle". It's
old
but works well
