Re: Can I limit the bandwidth of a network interface with WIN32 API?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

That correct if more than 1 protocol driver exist, but not in the case when
only one protocol driver installed in the system

AFAIK, a protocol driver gets a copy of the incoming and outgoing packets.
By delaying or dropping those packets, it cannot delay the network
traffic. An IM driver however can control the traffic.

I doubt if a protocol driver (winpcap or other) can limit bandwidth.

No such API, you need to do it yourself with protocol driver winpcap
use or with LSP like http://www.netlimiter.com do

Dear all,

I've been trying to write a program to limit the bandwidth of my
network
device to a certain speed.
I searched all over the internet and didn't find much useful
information.
What I find seems to be the best is the winpcap library.
But it mainly functions as a statistics tool or a filtering tool.
Or I may say that I want to limit the download bandwidth of a specific
network interface on my system.
Is there an API can help me with it?

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Kun
