How to limit bandwidth for Windows using command line?

Question

I am trying to throttle my internet speed upto a certain limit for testing purposes. I am looking for a command-line utility for doing so as I want to integrate the commands in a script. In Mac, the PF (packet filter) and dummynet come in default. So, throttling can easily be done using pfctl and dnctl commands. Does anyone know any commands like dnctl or pfctl for Windows to simulate network throttling?

Hi Ayushi,

I will suggest you explore the Netsh TCP commands to tune the interface and usually this is recommended for testing purpose as any misconfigured settings can have detrimental effect o the system performance - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/technologies/network-subsystem/net-sub-performance-tuning-nics?source=recommendations

Btw this command is available on all the Windows OS.

Hope this helps.
