Client compression is another possible means of reducing the amount
of data transferred.

As far as I know, TSM has no facilities for limiting the peak rate
of data transfer. Your network infrastructure might have that sort
of capability. For example, some routers can limit the rate at
which data is transferred between a specific pair of addresses.
