Bandwidth throttling in OS X
Authored by: HarleyDavidson01 on Dec 13, '08 03:12:54PM

Hello everybody,
I've seen applications that forward ports based on the application you specify. You could forward information for any app through these, set one specific port, then use the commands at the top of this thread to limit bandwidth to that port. Remember, when you use these commands you are specifying the internal destination; and if you've routed one port to another for a specific application, the only port you need to worry about is which one the application will "see" or use. This will allow you to limit bandwidth to that internal port, and it will "pull" information through the outer one at the limit you've defined. I've tried lighthouse, great for this, but I believe there are others that are freeware. I hope this helps somebody.

Bandwidth throttling in OS X

I've tried ALL of the ones listed here, AFP simply seems to NOT listen to the ipfw...

All i want to do is regulate AFP bandwidth on my network, anybody have a way to do that?
