Note: Some residential broadband ISPs do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP
might periodically check for servers and might suspend your account
if it discovers any active servers at your location. If you are unsure,
see the acceptable use policy of your ISP.

Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from
your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a
solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus
preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of
the Internet link. For more information, see Create Bandwidth
Profiles on page 180. For inbound traffic, you can configure
bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN WAN rule.
Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
