Attenuate is an 'add-on' for Microsoft's Internet Information
Server (IIS). Attenuate facilitates the imposition of a variety of bandwidth
constraints (throttling) without rejection of service. These include:
Attenuate II-V2.5 is here!
Examples of use include limiting download rates of .zip and .exe files on
a per directory basis, limiting .jpeg and .gif download rates sitewide, and
preserving bandwidth where streaming media is used. These techniques permit
valuable server capacity to be stretched.
Request based constraint imposition provides a great deal of flexibility.
Attenuate examines each server request, as typed into the browser, and assigns
download rate constraints based on a user specified list of wild-card strings.
Attenuate successively compares each request to these list entries and assigns
constraints based on the result of any match.
Attenuate dramatically increases the number of options available for controlling
a web site. Any file, or group of files, can be limited to preserve bandwidth
for other purposes. With Attenuate you can, for instance, limit download
rates of all zip files in all logical sites/directories to levels guaranteed
to preserve bandwidth for other users. A few power users, downloading gif
and jpg files, can seriously impede the performance of the server for other
users.
New, with the introduction of Attenuate II, is the convenience of remote
administration. A single Attenuate client can administer any number of Attenuate
installations on the TCP-IP network.
