end of that connection. This is mostly useful if you don't have access to
traffic control on the other side and if this other side has a faster
network connection than you do (the line speed between the systems is the
bottleneck, e.g. a DSL connection to you providers router, the router
itself is normally connected to a much faster backbone). So, if you drop
packets that are coming in too fast, the underlaying protocol might
recognize this and slow down the connection. TCP has a builtin mechanism
for this, UDP has not (but the protocol over UDP might recognize it , if
there is any).</para>
