[Spread-users] Voice communication using Spread

[John Schultz]

I just wanted to make sure that you know Spread does not do flow control 
for clients.  It is expected clients will do that themselves.

It is true that you can block in SP_multicast and SP_receive, but that has 
nothing to do with whether or not Spread disconnects you (or remote 
readers) because you are sending too fast.

Cheers!
John
