Updates using idle bandwidth

[Sunil Ghai]

Hi,

Rather than implementing dynamic bandwidth throttling feature in updates
only, how about having a framework possibly in form of headers and libraries
which would implement dynamic throttling and other applications like Package
manager or Firefox would be able to use it. For example, we can add one
option in wget to get files using idle bandwidth only. This will solve
purpose for other applications also.

I need your reviews that how this kind of framework would fit in GNU/Linux
operating system.

Regards,
Sunil Ghai.
