Sounds good.

Not up on this myself, though i might be able to look through
our code for some answers. Our implementation is purely win32
and is based around a separate socket class. Apparently uses
some microsoft specific API, so perhaps not just ioctl. There seems
to be a concept of negotiating/guaranteeing some data flow rate
through the socket.

I'm away from work for a couple of weeks from now, so i wont be
able to look further into it till i get back. Any experts out there please
feel free to jump in.

Cheers
