description:
  mbuffer is a tool for buffering data streams. It is designed for backup,
  replication, and other streaming workloads where steady throughput matters.

  It supports TCP network targets over IPv4 and IPv6, parallel distribution to
  multiple targets, multiple volumes, I/O rate limiting, configurable buffer
  sizes, high/low watermark based restart criteria, and on-the-fly MD5 hash
  calculation.

  mbuffer is especially useful when writing backups to fast tape drives or
  libraries, where buffer underruns can cause drives to stop and rewind. It uses
  a highly efficient multi-threaded implementation to help keep data flowing.
