Hi,

No, you can not limit the bandwidth within Windows for one application.
However some application have their own setting for throttling ex.
Backup Exec.

By design TSM client is set to use as much resources it needs during
backup ex. cpu, memory and network.
Regarding network traffic, IBM reluctant refuse to understand and
implement the consept of QoS, Qualtity of Service, in TSM.

Thinking of just one server/one OS when you try to implement a
restriction of how much network trafic TSM should be allowed to generate
doesn't scale very well. You could talk to your network guys and ask
them to implement QoS on port 1500/1501 on their routers and make sure
that TSM only uses thoose two ports.

Shawn,

Have your network admin check the network 'flow control' on the network
switch ensure it's open to full.

I imagine this topic would have been covered, but can't find anything on
it.

I don't think you can do it within TSM (correct me if I'm wrong) but
does anyone know how to limit the bandwidth that is used by the tsm
client on windows?
I.E. "Never use more than 20% of the network connection", "never exceed
5
mb/s etc."

Regards,
Shawn
