Yes, they both ultimately set the same policy values in the registry.

Jason,

Thanks, but my question is: is it possible to configure this using a Client 
Settings Package? I (and the customer) would prefer to use a ConfigMgr Client 
Settings Package, as long as that is an option. My plan is to create a separate 
Client Settings Package that will apply only to the ConfigMgr Pull Distribution 
Points, and configure the BITS service according to the parameters in the 
screenshot below.

Yes. BITS is an OS level service that ConfigMgr clients and Pull DPs use that 
can be configured using group policy (which ultimately just sets a handful of 
registry values).

Howdy folks,

Just wanted to confirm: In ConfigMgr 2012 R2, is it possibly to deploy a Client 
Settings Package, with BITS throttling, to Pull Distribution Points? Or is this 
only possible with Active Directory Group Policy (GPO)? The goal is to perform 
rate limiting on Pull DPs, however enabling a DP as a Pull DP causes the rate 
limiting features to be disabled (since this functionality resides on the Site 
Servers).

Note: Although the ConfigMgr client is not generally being installed on 
servers, the ConfigMgr client will be deployed to server operating systems that 
act as ConfigMgr Pull Distribution Points.

Cheers,
