Throttling Bandwidth

If the network or Internet connection used by your Web server is also used by other services, such as e-mail, you may want to limit the bandwidth used by your Web server so bandwidth is available for the other services. If you are running more than one site, you can individually throttle the bandwidth used by each site. Throttling bandwidth limits only the bandwidth used by static HTML files.

1. In Internet Service Manager, select the Web site and click the Properties button to display its property sheets.
2. On the Computer Properties property sheet, select Enable Bandwidth Throttling.
3. In the Maximum Network Use box, type the maximum number of kilobytes per second (KBps) you want to be used by IIS.
