What is the best way to implement Bandwidth Control

[trialtester2999]

Hi, this is a priority question. I would like to almost allocate all bandwidth to port 80 for faster web browsing and almost cut back on upload traffic which slows down our internet to a stand still. Is this possible?

Please see details below:

WWW (Port 80): 94%
Socks (Port 1080): 5%
FTP (Ports 20-21): 1

I want to control the upload speed as much as possible because it waste much of the download speed when they "collide".

The fastest setup would be to create 3 restrictions - one that allocates 94% and sets higher priority, the other one for 5% and lower priority and the third one for 1 %, lowest priority. Then create three rules:

1. Destination IP - any, destination port - 80, tick "Local machine traffic" checkbox and "Bi-directional rule", too
2. Destination IP - any, dest port - 1080, tick "Local machine traffic" checkbox and "Bi-directional rule", too
3 - Destination IP - any, dest port - 21, , tick "Local machine traffic" checkbox and "Bi-directional rule", too. Also tick "Induced traffic" checkbox.

Please check below if this is the proper way to implement it:

(Extended Network Driver - Bandwidth Control - Rules Window)

Source Destination Protocol Fwd Restriction
Any (Any)80-80 Any WWW
Any (Any)1080-1080 Any Socks
Any (Any)20-21 Any FTP

Are the values on the Source Traffic and Destination for Trafffic 0.0.0.0?

Yep, looks right.

does the wingate engine require restarting before new bandwidth throttle rules are applied?

[genie]

No, it should pick up the new settings as soon as you click OK button on ENS dialog

Hi, this is just a follow-up question, if for instance I include 3 ip addresses using a rule which restricts them to use only 118 Kilobits of traffic for all allowed ports, is the 118 Kilobits shared by this 3 IP addresses?

Message was duplicated!

If all these rules share the same restriction, then the bandwidth set in the restriction will be divided between the IP addresses specified - like a group.
