I have a nic "Local Network" and I would like to limit throughput speed for it to 1480kb/s and 208kb/s upload

How can I do that?

If you are in fact talking about a Windows machine, there are several ways this can be done:

1.) Change TCP settings on the device in question. This will lower the effective bandwidth, but isn't terribly elegant.

2.) Purchase some rate limiting software such as NetLimiter. It's $30 for one license, but it should do what you're asking.

3.) Limit bandwidth used by that particular host from the gateway, if you have a gateway supporting rate limiting. TC is great if you're using Linux, and Microsoft ISA has similar features.

Based off the "Local Network" comment of his, I assume he's talking about a Windows machine. – Jeff McJunkin Jun 30 '10 at 20:11
