I have setup a hotspot from my pc. I am trying to limit the bandwidth from this hotspot. I stumbled across Local Computer Policy and Policy based QoS. This seems to be what I am looking for. The issue is I cant get it to work.

What I did

I created a new policy with the following values

true means values is selected/checked

Policy Profile

  • Policy Name: Test Policy
  • Specify DSCP Value: false
  • Specify Outbound Throttle Rate: true
  • Rate: 25 KBps

Application Name or URL

  • All Applications: true
  • Only applications with this executed name: false
  • Only HTTP server applications responding to requests for this URL: false

IP Addresses

  • Any source IP address: true
  • Only for the following source IP address or prefix: false
  • Any destination IP address: true
  • Only for the following destination IP address or prefix: false

Protocol and Ports

  • Select the protocol this policy applies to: TCP and UDP
  • From any source Port: true
  • From this source port number or range: false
  • To any destination port: true
  • To this destination port number or range: false

Test

I then connect to my hotspot network via a roku. I then run a bandwidth test that exists inside the target ticket roku app.

The sustanined bandwidth results in the test is 6.7MPS.

Thats the same approximate values I get without the QoS policy.

If you can't get that working, you could try and create a virtual, where you can set the bandwidth on the network interface and then use it as a proxy instead. It should be pretty granular AND you could investigate other programs for bandwidth management. (Plus you get the benefit of proxy caching). People will be connecting through the VPS instead and it will be the broker. You still have the current switch untouched. If it is on a domain, you can then also easily set peoples IE connection via group policy or auto-discovery script.
