Limit Bandwidth

Command

LIMIT BANDWIDTH

Description

Sets a fixed bandwidth limitation for transmitting data from the source to the target

Syntax

LIMIT BANDWIDTH <bytes>, <seconds> TO <target>

Options

• bytes—Number of bytes to be transmitted
• seconds—Maximum number of seconds to wait before transmitting again
• target—Name of the target or an IP address on the target.

Examples

limit bandwidth 19300, 5 to beta

Notes

• This command transmits in bursts, not bytes per seconds. The time identifies how long to wait before transmitting again. For example, if 5 seconds are specified and it only takes 2 seconds to send the specified bytes, Double-Take Availability will wait an additional 3 seconds before transmitting again.
• Target names, except for IP addresses, that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
