Hi Everyone,
I have a question, I have a small network with one 1024/256 ADSL connection.
Currently there are 4 computers + Server connected.
For this I used the Windows 2000 Server, with Routing and Remote Access and NAT.
Now I have this problem that some of the Users are using all the bandwith for the internet connection.
This is beacasue of download managers and such programs.
I don't mind people having them running, I mean the others can also install a download managers and the odds are even.
Now the problem is that it is not possible to listen to streaming contents, as this applications can not open multiple connections.
So I was thinking about creating some kind of bandwith throttling on the Server.
So for example all users have a minimum % of the bandwith available at all time. So for example:
Every user gets a minimum of 15% of the bandwith. this adds up to 60% when all 4 users are using it. This leaves 40% Extra, that is "available" if no one is using it or alternativly as Admin traffic.
But in case that one user is not using his 15%, it get's put into the others "Available" traffic.
With this it is possible to prevent one User to "Steal" all the traffic, and guarantee that all users always have a minimum traffic.
Is this possible in Windows 2000 Server?
Or is there some 3'rd party software that can do this?
Other solutions are of course also welcome.
Kind regards.
