Bandwidth Throttle in IIS 5.0

Bandwidth throttling doesn't actually limit the amount of bandwidth the web site takes at any paricular point in time; rather, it sets a limit on the percentage of resources the process (out-of-process) can consume over a pre-defined time interval.Once the interval limit is reached (and surpassed), IIS begins to takes action in several phases: writing an event log entry, changing the priority of a process, stopping processes on the web site, and finally, stopping the web site.

For more information regarding bandwidth throttling, including instructions on changing metabase settings for the various limits, please refer to the MSDN article "Using the New Features in Internet Information Server 5.0, Part 1", which is located at:
