Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple app that monitors bandwidth usage and restrict it accordingly. While I have some idea on retrieving network statistics (kbps, total received/sent etc) via performance counters, I've not been able to find any classes in the BCL that I can use to limit a network's speed.

Any ideas? Or perhaps, are there any functions in Win32 that will help me achieve this?

Thanks

There is no API to throttle TCP/IP bandwidth, just as there's no API to make your hard disk slower. It can only be done artificially by each individual app by calling Sleep(). Doing it at the TCP/IP stack level requires a filter driver, you can't write those in a managed language.
