Morning,
I have a little problem I'm trying to solve and I think QoS is where I'll find an answer but I'm not sure.
The scenario is this. I have a remote office that accesses resources at our main office(my location) over a VPN link. The link normally works fine as the office typically shows 1-2Mbps with occasional spikes to 6-7Mbps when the remote office is pulling down largish files. We're on a 10Mbps Fiber so I have some overhead to work with.
Occasionally however I need to make downloads through tools that don't have any sort of rate limiter and if I pick the wrong time of day, I can cripple that office. The traffic is bursty and random so I never know when is a bad time to download large files.
Is there a way I can either rate limit one PC, or preferably, give priority to VPN traffic so that my downloads scale back when the remote office starts pounding the tunnel?
