android tethering restrictions

Question

In android, is it possible to limit the the number of the devices that are connected to the phone via tethering? The limit by the OS is 10 , is there a way we can reduce this value through an app ??

Or is there a way to restrict the bandwidth of the tethered connections?

thanks in advance

No and no, respectively. A custom build of the OS, installed via a modded ROM, presumably can do this.

Yes, you can by using third party Apps like WiFi Tether for Root Users. This apps will allow you to select which devices can use your mobile-data connection.
