**Bandwidth Limiting Tools**

Satellite bandwidth is a finite resource and technicians aboard research vessels are constantly
trying to manage bandwidth with tools that allow/deny applications or limit amount of
bandwidth per device and/or user. Yet they can still spend large amounts of time tracking down
errant applications. A bandwidth limiting application can be used as a stand-alone method to
reduce bandwidth consumption for a particular device. There are a number of bandwidth limiting
tools, here are some that we have tried and tested on different systems.

Options for limiting bandwidth on personal devices:

Windows computers:
  * [[Tripmode for Windows]]
  * [[NetLimiter]]

Macintosh computers:
  * [[Tripmode for Mac]] 
  * [[Little Snitch]]
