ok, your big problem is congestion avoidance. basically you need to
figure the size of the thinest point on the path (ie the largest
amount of data you can send in a given time that _wont_ create
congestion). one suggestion i would have is to use a method similar to
TCP Vegas congestion control. you could probably hack some of the bing
code to do your calculations of bit rate etc. and if you are using UDP
over just a LAN and you arent using broadcast UDP i would suggest
using a switch if you arent already. if you want more details on the
above then mail me.
