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