How to properly throttle an application?

Question

I'm dealing with a residential network having trouble with several PlayStation consoles sucking a ton of bandwidth. What is the proper method to limit PlayStation Network traffic to 5Mbps globally? (Shared bandwidth, not per client)

Hello tscott_16, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community! 
 You could use the Application Control as the XG has PlayStation Network as part of the application list, you can follow this KB 
 Make sure to select "Shared" for Bandwidth Usage Type, also if you have control over the PlayStations, I would suggest you assign them static IPs for easier administration. 
 Regards,
