Throttle Internet for VB Client

DevFingers · Post by **DevFingers** » 4. Jan 2015, 17:20

Yosemite OSX - latest updates
MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 16GB Ram
VB 4.3.20
Win 8.1 Client

Is there any way to throttle the bandwidth for the client to make it think it's connected via, say, a 1 Mbit connection, instead of my actual 16 Mbit connection?

See section 6.10 of the user manual.

That section doesn't really say much. Just that certain types of virtual cards will be reported to various OS types...

Nope, I'm still searchin...

You must have a different manual.

6.10 Limiting bandwidth for network I/O
Starting with version 4.2, VirtualBox allows for limiting the maximum bandwidth used for net- work transmission. Several network adapters of one VM may share limits through bandwidth groups. It is possible to have more than one such limit.6.10 Limiting bandwidth for network I/O

Code: Select all

VBoxManage bandwidthctl "VM name" add Limit --type network --limit 20m

etc.
