I'm a little uncertain as to whether I should be able to invoke bandwidth throttling using Vista Ultimate with a standard home router. The router does not have DSCP capability, but I have set up Group Policy for a particularly stubborn backup application (iDrive), which is supposed to have inbuilt throttling, but it doesn't work. By setting DSCP in Vista to 8, and Throttling to 8KBps, should I be seeing any throttling taking place? Or does it need a special router to actually analyse the QoS information that Vista is adding to the packets? I'm using OpenDNS - can that assist in any way here? I set up the group policy to be for a particular application, from any address, to any address, TCP and UDP. I have managed to get around this issue by using a trial version of NetLimiter. But obviously once my 28 day trial is up, if I don't *need* to buy it, I'd rather not do so, if it's possible using the OS. Thanks John |
