NAFC ,Network Adapter Feedback Control, is a method to regulate the upload speed automatically, like USS. It was introduced in the Maella-Mod and is today implemented in the NeoMule-Mod, phoenix-Mod, Xtreme-Mod and ScarAngel-Mod.

To get the traffic of the modem, the traffic at the ethernet adapter is measured. This allows the upload to be fully used without saturating the modem.

This system compares with USS

Basic explanation

This activates the Network-Adaptor-Feedback-Control, which calculates the uploadlimit according to the whole internet traffic of the network adaptor used by eMule. Using this option you will get a dynamic downloadlimit, if the upload is disturbed by other applications.(this text is from old Xtreme homepage)


Advantages

  • Doesn't produce overhead (no pings are sent)
  • Responds quickly


Disadvantages

  • Doesn't work with all operating systems
  • Doesn't handle shared Internet connections as it can't monitor how much traffic is being used by other PC's.
  • Doesn't respond to ISP slowdowns (unlike USS which can ping anything on the Internet).
  • Requires user to know their maximum upload speed (USS detects it automatically)
