[streaming] How does vlc determine the sending rate?

[Chhaya, Harshal]

Hi,

I have been using VLC to stream movies across a LAN and am wondering
how the sender vlc knows what rate to send the packets at? If I use
UDP for streaming, what stops VLC from sending the video as fast as
the network allows? 

Is there is a control protocol that vlc uses for flow control etc.?
Or does it use the information in the video file to determine the
encoding rate and then send the data at that rate?

Thanks,
- Harshal
