How to set an application to low priority traffic?

SebastianRoessiger

Is it possible to set an application to low priority?

background:

We have about 40 office 2013 home & business Installations. This version is unable to get the updates from WSUS.

So they load the updates directly from Microsoft each month and fill up internet traffic. Last month e.g. 1.5GB per client.

If other users want to use internet at the same time, it's realy slow.

As a workaround we have throttled MS Office 365 app to a certain limit. 

Is there a possibility to say MS Office 365 app only can use the bandwith when it is not used by other apps?

    Yes, that's the problem. It's the application MS Office 365 but it belongs to HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

    So do you mean, when we throttle the app, it throttles whole HTTP/HTTPS traffic?

    Is it maybe possible to set requests to the office download-servers e.g. *.microsoft.com domain to low priority?
    So we can filter the Office download traffic from normal web usage?
