Capping the speed of specific computers on a network can be achieved through various methods, with the Linksys BEFSR41 router being a common tool. Users seeking to prioritize network resources may consider this approach to prevent lower-priority devices from impacting the performance of higher-priority ones. One suggested solution is to use NetLimiter, a program that allows users to set download and upload speed limits for individual computers. However, while NetLimiter can throttle traffic per application, it may not be the most efficient method for overall network management. Generally, Quality of Service (QoS) or Class of Service (CoS) is preferred for managing network traffic, focusing on protocols or services rather than specific hosts. There are limited products available for directly capping speeds on individual IPs, as this is not a common practice in network management.

I would like to cap the speed of some of the computers on my network.. I use a befsr41 Linksys router.. if anyone knows how to put a cap on specific IP's let me know.

Are you trying to prioritize the allocation of network resources? Is this why you want to set a cap on connection speed, so that the traffic generated by some lower-priority PCs doesn't affect higher-priority PCs?
 
Can't you just use a program like netlimiter? Just install it on each computer and then set the download/upload speeds for that computer.

If that's what you want then here is the site:

The Question is: Why would you want to?

Netlimiter, is shaping traffic per application (by the looks of things) so although you could use it and then throttle every single application on a PC, its not optimal, but is about as close as you can get to do this...

There arent any network reasons to do what he wants so there won't be many products available to do this. Typically people implement QoS or CoS on a network per protocol/service and never a host.
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
