Tips on limiting bandwidth usage

lIke turning off cloud which I suspect isn't practicle. I don't back up photos or mail just contacts and notes and reminders and stuf. Anyone know of a decent bandwidth monitor that I could use to monitor which apps are hogging all the bandwidth and where its going when the iPad isnt in use? I'm biding my time with this thing. Don't want to buy anything for it If I can help it. Plan on switching to windows 8 product as soon as I wear it out or drop it or let my temper get the best of me.
tried searching for onavo in App Store didnt find it.

Do have a cellular wifi device I used to use but ate through 5gb like it was nothing. Now have slow broadband microwaved off a mountain top 14 miles away near the closest town. They don't hesitate to throttle me when I use too much. So I don't look at videos (usually on facebook) unless they seem really interesting. Avoid hd like the plague. Now days with many web pages taking as much as 10mb to load and my doing a lot of reading and googling I burn through quite a bit. For instance a mopar forum I went to once took like 80mb to load 2 or 3 pages. So when I see my iPad used 200mb I'd like to know where it all went. Especially when I am on extended trips with the wifi/cellular device. If it was to safari than at least I would know I did it. I have no way of telling that which is one thing about the ipad I find frustrating. That isn't an issue with windows. At least I know on my laptop where all the bandwidth went. I keep all my data on a smart card and back it up to a couple of different places. So thank God no need for cloud.

Limiting Bandwidth usage for MDT 2013

Hello Technet,
I recently built up a MDT 2013 platform (on server 2k8R2) for deploying our Windows 7 image to over 125+ computers in our building at the same time. Our deployment server, which is a VM, is located on the same host and switch as our web server
(not my design) and I am forced to limit the bandwidth usage to only 50%. I know WDS was/is able to limit bandwidth usage when multicasting, but I haven't found anything online about MDT being able to limit it.
Do I need to have the WDS role installed on my server to limit the bandwidth or can MDT 2013 do this for me. As always, any and all help is appreciated!

Adobe CC - Bandwidth usage

I live in the sticks, unfortunately my only option for internet is satellite which has limited monthly bandwidth usage. My question is, Abobe CC constantly send and receive data, which would use my bandwidth usage?

Hi Fabian,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! The font licensing through Typekit does not include the option to embed the fonts in a native app. In order to use a font in an app, you will need to purchase a separate license from the foundry.
For more details, please refer to the "Typekit Font Licensing" help page.
We hope to be able to support embedded fonts in the future, but it isn't available at this time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help; please let me know if you have any other questions.

P2V WMM 2012 100Mbit maximize bandwidth usage?

Hi,
I’m trying to make a p2v over a 100Mbit ipsec connection with vmm 2012 where in my mind the 100Mbit is the limiting factor.
When I look at bandwidth usage during transfer I see a jigsaw maxing out at 95Mbit and min 40Mbit, the whole transfer takes about 10h. I would really like to use my full (> 90) bandwidth constantly to reduce this transfer windows, I got lots of server to
p2v…
Can’t find any documentation which components are involved and options, probably agent <-> agent and bits?
Anyone with experience that have tweaked this or know if something can be done to improve it?
I have no problem maxing out this 100Mbit with an ftp transfer... (constan > 90Mbit)
Thanks :)

Hi MatteDS,
I noticed the process of P2V , at the imaging phase it will use bits service
to transfer the data :
Imaging phase:
                  A Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) image is captured for each NTFS volume. If a dynamic destination VHD format is selected, this process captures data
only, not empty spaces.
                  Data is streamed directly from the source computer to the VMM host using Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).
                  Each physical volume becomes a separate virtual hard disk.
Please try  to allow unencrypted file transfer , also disable bits service on the source host:
Open the VMM Administrator Console
Depending on your environment configuration, select the Host Groups (e.g. All Hosts) that has all of your Hyper-V hosts
Right-click on the Host Folder (e.g. All Hosts)
In the "Allow Unencrypted file transfers ", check the box
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

Understand the bandwidth usage on production.

Hi all, i try to understand the bandwidth usage on production time on the network. I took one C3560G with all device are conected to 1000Mb/s.
I make: show int gi0/1
5 minute input rate 320000 bits/sec, 555 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 9787000 bits/sec, 821 packets/sec
The total is: 10.1 Mb/sec (on this port)
In all active port the summary is: 47 Mb/s (input rate+output rate in all ports)
So, i used 4,7% of the total of the bandwidth. And in cacti (by snmp) software i see one device transfer data with a maximun of 24Mb/s. Why don't use more bandwidth if is available?
Some can give me a hand to understand this?
Thanks!

So, the bandwidth is limited for the windows size. How i manualy set the RWIN? in a LAN is posible?
Yes, it's often possible. How depends on the host. Search the Internet for BDP and your host IOS, and you'll likely find how to adjust.
PS:
BTW, too large a RWIN can cause a sender to send too many packets at one time which can result in drops. Have you checked your transit interfaces for drops?
Ideally, RWIN should be sized for BDP; not smaller and not larger.

How can i calculate the bandwidth usage of my Azure subscription?

Hi,
I know currently there is no API which provide bandwidth usage details. Is there any other way to find out my subscription's bandwidth usage?
Thank you!

Hi,
Please have a look at below thread.
#http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4590682/how-to-measure-windows-azure-bandwidth-usage-programmatically
Here is a snippet.
The Azure SDK doesn't provide any billing or consumption information programatically. As lgorek stated, you can approximate usage with IIS And WCF performance counters.And you'll also be able to use your own logging to track traffic from different users.
However, you won't be able to track bandwidth consumed when users download content from blob storage. Well, you could, but only if all of your blobs were private and you streamed their content through your web application instead of direct links on your web
pages .

Bandwidth usage with homesharing

I have recently found my bandwidth being used while streaming from Macbook Pro to Apple TV whilst using Home Sharing. Watching a 1.2 GB movie streamed from iTunes to Apple TV uses 1.2 GB of bandwidth!
I have reset my Apple TV but the problem continues.
I have disconected the Bell modem from the internet and the problem goes away. The Macbook streams efficiently to the Apple TV using the home wireless network.
Has anyone encountered this problem? And, more importantly, can anyone suggest a solution.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
D

Hi diesel vdub
I am definitely using the Computers icon of my Apple TV. I have factory reset the modem but the issue remains. As I mentioned before when the modem is on, but disconnected from the internet, movies and videos stream fine to the Apple TV with no significant bandwidth usage.

WRT160N Bandwidth usage

Does this router monitor or meter bandwidth usage? Using Vista Home Premium OS, two other computers with WMP54GS and WMP54G PCI adapters and a PSP.
Can it be configured to monitor or meter usage? Can I see the actual usage in real time?
Question 2: (I can ask this elsewhere if you want) Is there a way to extend the antenna on WRT54G & S adapters since they tend to become shielded by the computer case itself?
Thanks

No Linksys router do not monitor band width.nor they can be coinfigured to do so. You can use high gain antennas for the adapters.

100 percent bandwidth usage

I have two 2 Cisco 2821-VK/9 routers between 2 offices. The connection between the 2 is a 2 Meg diginet line.
When ever I copy a file between the two sites that is more than 1 Gb in size, the bandwidth usage is 100 % and it takes a very long time to complete.
Could you please advice what I should do.
Regards
Cyril

Hi Cyril,
I'll assume since you're posting in the UC section that your question in some way relates to voice/video traffic on that link and perhaps not just to the length of time taken to copy large files.
you might want to consider implemented a QoS policy on your network if there isn't one already in place.
You can start with some light reading here.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/5x/50nstrct.html#wp1043960
It won't make your 1Gb files copy faster but it can help stop them choking off your other network traffic.
regards,
Paul

What is the actual bandwidth usage?

When I use Adobe Connect I am online and broadcasting for about 4 hours a day, for 10 days at a time. I only do screen sharing and voice -- no video.
I have DSL Internet. The DSL upload speeds are very poor (under 1Mb). To speed things up, I thought I'd look into getting a 4G hotspot, but I'm worried about actual bandwidth usage, since such plans have a practical limit of 5 or 10Gb per month.
My off-hand guess is that If I were to watch a video of myself, I guess it would be a couple of gigs for a four hour, non-HD video. So by that very rough guestimate, I'd hit 20Gb pretty easily over the 40 hours of my meeting. Is that right the way to think about it?
Has anyone monitored actual consumed bandwidth for a simple meeting of one person talking and sharing his screen? I'm not looking for definitive answers -- just some ballpark estimate of what such a meeting consumes each hour...
Thanks! :-)

Page 22 of this document will give you some numbers that will allow you to estimate the total data used for a meeting. Keep in mind these numbers are what Adobe saw as average consumption, yours may be higher or lower.

High bandwidth usage while inactive

Twice today I've glanced at Activity Monitor's Dock icon, which I have set to view Network Usage, and saw a large amount of data streaming continuously through my internet connection.
This morning when I noticed it for the first time, I poked around my system, and after not seeing any other programs (Safari, Software Update, etc.) being active, I tried quitting Messages Beta - and the bandwidth instantly dropped down to nothing. At that time, it was moving around 60KB/sec upstream, and probably around half that downstream according to Activity Monitor.
A few minutes ago this evening, I saw it happen again - my Activity Monitor was showing heavy continuous bandwidth usage. This time I simply set my status to 'Offline' in Messages Beta and once again it instantly dropped down to nothing. This time the bandwidth was closer to 160kb/sec upstream, and half that downstream! When I changed my status back to 'Available' a few seconds later, everything continued on normally, with almost no data usage.
I had no active chats going, never used video, screen or file sharing - so what in the world is Messages Beta doing with so much data streaming? I'm quite mystified, and wondering if anybody else has seen this happen....

The issue seemed to be local network traffic.

Getting really frustrated! I bought Photoshop 7, upgaded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3, now I have had computer problems and looks like both are now gone, they were not de-installed. I have limited bandwidth (I live int he country) and need a new box versio

I bought Photoshop 7, upgraded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3. I live in the country and have limited bandwidth for my internet, therefore, the cloud will not work and I must have a box version. In Jan Best Buy did work on my laptop and did not de-install CS3, now my desktop has died and believe CS3 on it is also gone. I have the serial numbers and can not find how to contact Adobe.
I only use it for photography and do not want CS6, so I need help, can anyone help me. Thanks a million.

Why on Earth are you getting frustrated? ?? !!
You don't even need to "contact Adobe", unless you need to activate that old deleted version. You are entitled to two activations.
Just download the CS3 trial version and input your serial numbers (the installer might prompt you for the previous serial number since your CS3 probably has an update s/n).
Download CS3 products <=== click on link
Anytime you want to look for something on the Adobe site, just do a Google search and add "site:adobe.com" (without the quotes) at the end of the string of keywords, for instance, this what to type in Google to find the CS3 downloads:
download Photoshop cs3 site:adobe.com
Just change "CS3" for whatever version you want.
Using the Adobe web site search function is futile.
Now, if you had two activations already, just call customer service and they will deactivate one or both for you—after quickly verifying your registration.. No big deal.
Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
Then on the next page, click Chat
There is also a phone option.

FF resolution settings to lower bandwidth usage

Which versions of FF will do this and what specific settings are there to lower bandwidth usage?
Also, will the FF settings override settings on websites such as youtube? For example, if my kids were to click on higher resolution or HD video settings for their youtube videos, what would happen?

Changing the resolution doesn't have any effect on the Firefox performance and may even look worse if you operate an LDC monitor not in its native resolution.
You can block content if you ant to improve performance on a low bandwidth connection.
You can look at Adblock Plus.

Limiting bandwidth on client side with Camera.setQuality() inconsistent?

After successful bandwidthCheck() limiting bandwidth to setQuality(75000, 100)
leads to the desired result of publishing the stream with max bitrate of 75000 byte/s.
On other locations the same setting results in publishing the stream with max bitrate of
approx. 13107 byte/s. If I change bandwidth to setQuality(400000, 100) i am reaching the desired
bandwidth limit of 75000 byte/s.
Stream is published with h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.MAIN, H264Level.LEVEL_5_1).
Any clues?
These behaviour only occurs with outStream.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
If videoStreamSettings is not set to h264Settings all things are doing well as expected.
