Limit bandwith of my application

[DCaballero]

Hi, I've seen on some applications like emule, options on limiting the
amount of outgoing and incoming bandwith the application uses. How can
I incorporate this into my application?

Is this done with the .NET network classes, or do I have to go to C++
or can I use some third party library?

Thanks for your help!

Hello DCaballero,

Well, since you are in control of what you send out of your application then
you would know how much data yer sending. In your send routine simply throttle
the usage to whatever you like.

Well the thing is, what we want to do, is limit bandwith of any or all
applications running on the PC.

This is for a corporate control software.

You'd probably have to write a filter driver to control bandwidth of all
applications - definitely outside the scope of .NET entirely.

I'd suggest reposting in microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel.

Ooops! Would you know of any third party components that I could use in
..NET via Interop fot his?

Nope - but ask over in .kernel. Someone there just might (but don't get
your hope up).
