Procedure to setup Bandwidth Throttling for a Website

It is assumed that necessary setup has been performed to replicate files from the one vault to another and that each vault is running on a separate IIS website. For IIS7, perform the following for Bandwidth Throttling on the website with Primary vault:

1. Start IIS Manager.
2. Select the website and click Advanced Settings.
3. Under section Connection Limits, specify the Maximum Bandwidth (in Bytes/sec)
4. Restart the website.

For IIS6, perform the following for Bandwidth Throttling on the website with Primary vault:

1. Start IIS Manager.
2. Right click on the website and select Properties.
3. On the Performance TAB, in the Bandwidth Throttling Section click the Checkbox and select the Maximum Bandwidth (in kilobytes/sec)
4. Restart the website.

Once configured, these settings restrict the download or any files from the website. This limits the amount of bandwidth taken by the replication, but if your website also controls access to Aras Innovator this also restricts the bandwidth used by Aras Innovator. It is recommended you have a thorough execution plan before putting these setting in place, as they can have an impact on end-user experience.
