You would need to do that on your router, if it has that feature. There is a
feature with Windows Server called QOS (Quality of Service) that you can
control bandwidth availability for specific apps, but not in general.

You can also try some 3rd party tools. I searchg Google for you with a
search string of "windows bandwidth control" and got a few hits. Here are a
few of them:

There are more hits. Goto Google and search for the string I used to see the
other hits to see if they are of interest.

Something to note about QOS and a at least one of the tools you linked Ace
is that they don't limit any connections. They merely allow an app to be
assured of getting a set amount of bandwidth.

Also, component from point a to point b must support QOS.

Is there any hardware to do this?
