Traffic limit for File transfer

[Adoo]

Hi Everyone,

I want to limit bandwith using CIFS and SFTP protocol. E.g; I mapped a pool to my windows machine on TrueNAS. I want to transfer files at 10Mbps instantaneously. It cannot exceed this speed. Can I set traffic limits with Truenas Core? If say yes, so how?

Thank you for your response.

Regards

It looks like Microsoft just added that to the SMB stack on Windows Server 2022:

Set-SmbBandwidthLimit (SmbShare)

Use this topic to help manage Windows and Windows Server technologies with Windows PowerShell.

I doubt it's in the stable version of SAMBA yet, although it looks like it may be something you could mess with in version 4.4 when that arrives (could be a very long time) in the SMB3 Multi-Channel section, "interfaces" setting:

Samba 4.4 Features added/changed - SambaWiki

You're much more likely to find network-based shaping or client settings will be the solution that you ultimately need.

Thank you for your response. I want to set real-time traffic limit via TrueNAS core. Not on User.Can I set the traffic limit on TrueNAS? For example, I want to apply a 10Mbps transfer limit for a user instantly. Can it be done?
