How does ftp achieve accurate speed limit?

demand: one of the machines in the online cluster deploys the ftp server, and other machines schedule get data every day through the ftp client. Because there are many services running on the cluster, it is necessary to limit the speed of ftp in order not to affect other services

current solution: a simple ftp server is built using python"s pyftplib, and the client uses the speed limit code snippet of Linux NetKit"s ftp,python:

    -sharp limit for bandwidth
    dtp_handler = ThrottledDTPHandler
    dtp_handler.read_limit = 30 * 1024 * 1024  -sharp 30 MB/s
    dtp_handler.write_limit = 30 * 1024 * 1024  -sharp 30 MB/s

    -sharp Instantiate FTP handler class
    handler = FTPHandler
    handler.authorizer = authorizer
    handler.dtp_handler = dtp_handler

current problem: it is not found that the Nic is full through network monitoring (CPU, memory and disk IO are also far from reaching the alarm threshold), but there are a large number of delay alarms in other services deployed on the cluster. This may be due to the fact that ftp speed limit and network monitoring are based on seconds, but service monitoring is based on milliseconds. When the ftp server reaches the speed limit threshold within 1 second, it will no longer be processed, but in the short time when it reaches the threshold, it has occupied a lot of bandwidth, thus affecting other processes. The code snippet for pyftplib to implement the speed limit:

def _throttle_bandwidth(self, len_chunk, max_speed):
        """A method which counts data transmitted so that you burst to
        no more than x Kb/sec average.
        """
        self._datacount += len_chunk
        if self._datacount >= max_speed:
            self._datacount = 0
            now = timer()
            sleepfor = (self._timenext - now) * 2
            if sleepfor > 0:
                -sharp we"ve passed bandwidth limits
                def unsleep():
                    if self.receive:
                        event = self.ioloop.READ
                    else:
                        event = self.ioloop.WRITE
                    self.add_channel(events=event)

                self.del_channel()
                self._cancel_throttler()
                self._throttler = self.ioloop.call_later(
                    sleepfor, unsleep, _errback=self.handle_error)
            self._timenext = now + 1

excuse me:
1. Is the reason I analyzed correct? If not, what else could the problem be?
2. If correct, is there a simple way or a mature solution to achieve a more accurate speed limit?

maybe you are looking in the wrong direction. You can try to limit the download speed of an IP (the server from which you get the data) to your server
you can use the iptables, reference

compared with scp, you can achieve a finer speed limit (using nanosleep ), but because kerberos is used for authentication on the cluster, ssh is more troublesome. I wonder if anyone knows about other ftp frameworks or open source products that can achieve nanosec speed limit (regardless of language)? If not, you can only change the source code of the open source product. The following is a snippet of scp's speed limit source code:

void
bandwidth_limit(struct bwlimit *bw, size_t read_len)
{
    u_int64_t waitlen;
    struct timespec ts, rm;

    if (!timerisset(&bw->bwstart)) {
        gettimeofday(&bw->bwstart, NULL);
        return;
    }

    bw->lamt += read_len;
    if (bw->lamt < bw->thresh)
        return;

    gettimeofday(&bw->bwend, NULL);
    timersub(&bw->bwend, &bw->bwstart, &bw->bwend);
    if (!timerisset(&bw->bwend))
        return;

    bw->lamt *= 8;
    waitlen = (double)1000000L * bw->lamt / bw->rate;

    bw->bwstart.tv_sec = waitlen / 1000000L;
    bw->bwstart.tv_usec = waitlen % 1000000L;

    if (timercmp(&bw->bwstart, &bw->bwend, >)) {
        timersub(&bw->bwstart, &bw->bwend, &bw->bwend);

        /* Adjust the wait time */
        if (bw->bwend.tv_sec) {
            bw->thresh /= 2;
            if (bw->thresh < bw->buflen / 4)
                bw->thresh = bw->buflen / 4;
        } else if (bw->bwend.tv_usec < 10000) {
            bw->thresh *= 2;
            if (bw->thresh > bw->buflen * 8)
                bw->thresh = bw->buflen * 8;
        }

        TIMEVAL_TO_TIMESPEC(&bw->bwend, &ts);
        while (nanosleep(&ts, &rm) == -1) {
            if (errno != EINTR)
                break;
            ts = rm;
        }
    }

    bw->lamt = 0;
    gettimeofday(&bw->bwstart, NULL);
}

finally use vsftpd, to see the source code is nanosleep
