Please keep discussions on-list. Applications do not get blocked from
sharing eth0 or any other network interface, at least not without
malice. Applications will saturate a connection if they so require -
fire up a bittorrent share of f8t1, then try and browse the internet
and you'll see what I mean.

You're talking nonsense. Applications are multi-threaded, protocols
know nothing of threads and do not implement them. Please also don't
use words like backport unless you understand their meaning.

Please also do not top-post.
