Setting Throttling Options
Throttling enables you to control the percentage of the bandwidth that should be made available for file transfers. By imposing such a restriction on bandwidth, you help prevent a situation where your organization’s entire bandwidth is used for file transfers. You can specify the following options:
Maximum number of client connections that can be made to
ActiveTransfer Server at any given time
Maximum outgoing and incoming speeds allowed across all ports in the
ActiveTransfer instance
IP patterns that define a range of IP addresses that are immune to the speed settings, for internal IP addresses for which bandwidth is not a concern
To set throttling options
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > Managed File Transfer > Server Management.
3. Click the Throttling tab.
4. In the Maximum Simultaneous User Connections box, type the maximum number of connections allowed for the server at any given time.
5. In the Maximum Outgoing Speed box, type the maximum allowable speed for outbound transfers, in kilobytes per second.
6. In the Maximum Incoming Speed box, type the maximum allowable speed for inbound transfers, in kilobytes per second.
7. In the IP Patterns Immune to Speed section, click 
. In the new row that appears in the section, type the pattern representing a range of IP addresses. For example, 168.21.* indicates that all addresses that begin with 168.21 are immune to speed settings. You can delete an IP address pattern by selecting it and clicking the
button.
8. Click Save.
