IIS MaxBandWidth property can be set to a value specified in bytes per second indicating an upper limit on the amount of bandwidth to be consumed by the service. By setting this value to a rightly calculated value, we can simulate scenarios of broadband or dial up access to the site.
For quick reference, I have reproduced the calculation steps given by Chris. Thanks Chris!
In order to accurately simulate a 56K dial-up connection, we must convert Kbits into Kbytes, remembering also to account for modem sync information. Since there are eight bits in a byte, you’d think we’d simply divide 56 by eight to determine the number of kilobytes to set the throttle to. However, don’t forget that part of the 56K bandwidth is dedicated to keeping the connection up and not used for data. As such, we actually divide 56 by 12 to arrive at the correct number. We then multiply by 1,024 to turn Kbytes into bytes. This results in 4,778 and change. You can keep the change.
