| 22 <B>OVERVIEW</B> |
| 23 Particularly when used with the -m (multi-threading) option, gsutil can |
| 24 consume a significant amount of network bandwidth. In some cases this can |
| 25 cause problems, for example if you start a large rsync operation over a |
| 26 network connection used by a number of other important production tasks. |
| 27 |
| 28 While gsutil has no built-in support for throttling requests, there are |
| 29 various tools available on Linux and MacOS that can be used to throttle |
| 30 gsutil requests. |
| 31 |
| 32 One tool is `trickle<http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle>`_ |
| 33 (available via apt-get on Ubuntu systems), which will let you limit how much |
| 34 bandwidth gsutil consumes. For example, the following command would limit |
| 35 upload and download bandwidth consumed by gsutil rsync to 100 KBps: |
| 36 |
| 37 trickle -d 100 -u 100 gsutil -m rsync -r ./dir gs://some bucket |
| 38 |
| 39 Another tool is |
| 40 `ionice<http://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix_commands/ionice.htm>`_ (built |
| 41 in to many Linux systems), which will let you limit how much I/O capacity |
| 42 gsutil consumes (e.g., to avoid letting it monopolize your local disk). For |
| 43 example, the following command would reduce I/O priority of gsutil so it |
| 44 doesn't monopolize your local disk: |
| 45 |
| 46 ionice -c 2 -n 7 gsutil gsutil -m rsync -r ./dir gs://some bucket |
