Hi. How can I limit the reception bandwidth on a socket?
I want my client to connect to a server and set the download bandwidth to a
desire value.

How can this be done using Win32API or anyother else?

The Winsock2 API does not support any type of bandwidth control that I am aware of. You could try writing a custom Winsock LSP to do
this, but this is not a trivial job. Otherwise you can get a firewall such as Sonicwall, Cisco, etc. or use a SOCKS proxy that
supports bandwidth control, assuming your traffic is being routed.
