Is it possible to send messages back to the sender to say that you don't
want any more data for a while? You could have some sort of "ideal buffer
window", you could have say 50 buffers available, and the ideal is between
20 and 30, if it drops above or below you tell the sender to either slow
down or speed up respectively.
