[Twisted-Python] Flow-control for Pipes / Unix Domains Sockets?

fwiw, I have been trying to get find a conclusive answer to the subquestion:

Do Unix domain sockets (either stream or dgram) support flow-control?

The nearest I could find is
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1478975/unix-domain-socket-is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-busy-signal/1479022
but the comments seem to contradict each other.

seems I'll just try it and see what happens ..

Hi,

I don't know the answer to your question...
I've been thinking about flow control lately.

I recently wrote a little working prototype VPN in Twisted using
IPushProducer and IConsumer interfaces
but I have not yet implemented flow control :

Here we can see how I proxy between TUN and UDP using producers and consumers:

Perhaps later on I could add flow control... by having the consumers
pause the producers when need be.
For now I just churn packets as fast as possible.
