An important measure in controlling the
Internet access is to limit the bandwidth usage. This is needed so, that no
single user can hog all the bandwidth by running something like a download accelerator.
You can use Microsoft’s ISA Server to limit the amount of bandwidth. We’ll
demonstrate how you can do so. Installing the server is a simple wizard driven process,
so we’ll not get into that. Once installed, go to Start>Programs to access
the Management console. Then double click on the server icon located on the left
side of the window. Next double click on Policy Elements and right click on Bandwidth
Priorities. Then choose New>Bandwidth Priority from the menu and enter low,
medium or high (depending on what you want) and give a description in the description
box. After this you will find two text boxes for specifying outgoing and
incoming value ranging from one to 200. Fill these text boxes with the value. A
higher value means higher priority. Finally, click on OK to finish.
