Internet Throttling

Post by arosas »

We are offloading data to Azure blob storage. There is only one Internet rule available, no additional Internet rules can be created, unless I am missing something.
The internet rule is set:
Source: 'Any' Target IP: 'Internet'
Throttle traffic to 20Mbps
During the specified time periods only:
Highlighted section is business hour 5am-5pm
The highest usage is the throttled amount of 20Mbps during non business hours. During business hours the highest usage is 2Mbps.
If I reverse the highlighted section, then it will use 20Mbps during business hours, but only use 2Mbps during non business hours.
I am looking to limit the internet usage to 20Mbps during business hours and unlimited the rest of the time.
Any ideas how to accomplish this?

I think this configuration should answer your requirements (select the time slot on the left from the working hours and click disable, select the time slot on the right from the working hours and click disable):

Thank you for the response, This is exactly how I have it. During the purple highlighted hours, it uses 20Mbps and the rest of the time, it used 2Mbps.

It's not expected behavior.
What numbers do you see if the Network traffic rule is completely disabled? Thanks!

Please, can you share the case ID here, so we can track it internally or at least the test results? Thanks!
