Configuring Traffic Throttling in IPWorks Components

Network applications may require limiting bandwidth usage to control performance or comply with network constraints. /n software components provide a simple way to throttle outgoing traffic using a configuration setting.

The MaxTransferRate configuration setting controls the rate of outbound TCP data by specifying the number of bytes sent per second. It is supported by TCP-based components such as TCPClient and TCPServer.

For example, the following example limits the transfer rate of a TCPServer component to 1 KB per second.

tcpserver.Config("MaxTransferRate=1024");

Note that this setting applies only to outbound data and does not affect incoming traffic.
