Just trying to see what others do in regards to this.

 

We have a bunch of people with laptops that connect to us via VPN, and
sometimes they might be connecting over a 3G card, which doesn't have the
best bandwidth.  We would like to be able to say if laptop is coming in over
3G then either don't patch or just download patches slow (BITS throttle).
If they are coming in over some higher bandwidth pipe  (e.g. cable modem at
home) then patch and download patches quicker.  I don't really see any way
of doing this.  I think it's all or nothing we could setup the VPN subnet as
slow connection, enable BITS throttling for these specific laptops but
whatever we set for BITS, let's say 100K from 8AM-6PM it would also limit
people who are coming in over their fast cable modem, so now they would also
download patches slowly.  I know you can do some more tweaking in regards to
cost with Win8.1, but we're all Win 7 laptops.  

 

Have others come across this and if so, what did you guys do?

 

Thanks

 

Rob
