Monitor packet sending to avoid overburdening network?

[TheGreyGhost]

Hi guys

 

Has anyone found a good way to monitor the amount of network traffic to avoid overburdening the network with packets?

 

I'm writing a mod which needs to send a lot of packets in the background.  If I send too many at once, it overloads the network and slows down everything for other players.  But if I go too conservative it takes an overly long time to send all the packets.

 

What I'm really looking for is a way to monitor how much network traffic there is and throttle my packet sending accordingly.  I have a couple of ideas from looking through the code (still 1.6.4), but nothing great.

 

Anyone found a successful method for this before?

I have not.  At one point I was worried about it, but then I considered how much minecraft itself is sending compared to what I was doing and stopped.

 

There are some packet events.  You could monitor that for usage over time and do something with it.
