Bandwidth Limiting/Speed Limit (General questions)

by Vermis, Friday, October 15, 2004, 23:46 (7344 days ago)

I have a Windows Service (NT Service) that processes files and then using SFTP.NET transfers them to a remote server. This is a low priority process that runs all the time and the customer has raised a concern of my solution hogging their bandwidth.

The easiest way to belay their concern would be to add bandwidth limiting to my solution. So, lets say for example they want to limit the bandwidth used by my solution to 50Kb/s. Poking around in the help for SFTP.NET I didn't see an option for this, or a way to implement it.

Two questions:
- Would this be a possible future feature in SFTP.NET?
- Is there some way of implementing bandwith limiting using SFTP.NET that I'm missing?

Thanks,
Vermis

Vermis,

currently wodSFTP.NET does not have bandwidth limitation option. We don't have plans for adding it (since we didn't have requests about it so far). Is there any 3rd party software that could do this for you? I recall there was a Netlimiter software that could limit bandwidth for specific connections - perhaps this will help you in your case?
