Or people could simply learn to configure their routers correctly. The =
only time I ever notice that Bitcoind is saturating my upstream link is=
 when I try to transfer a file using SCP from a computer on my home net=
work to a computer out on the Internet somewhere. SCP sets the "maximiz=
e throughput" flag in the IP "type of service" field, and my router int=
erprets that as meaning low priority, and so those SCP transfers get st=
alled behind Bitcoind. But mostly everything else (e.g., email, web bro=
wsing, instant messaging, SSH) shows no degration whatsoever regardless=
 of what Bitcoind is doing. The key is to move the packet queue from th=
e cable modem into the router, where intelligent decisions about packet=
 priority and reordering can be enacted.

=B5TP pretty much reinvents the wheel, and it does so in userspace, whe=
re the overhead is greater. There's no need for it if proper QoS is in =
effect.
