How to Limit Secure Client Bandwidth Per User

This section provides instructions to limit the maximum bandwidth that the VPN users consume when they connect using the Secure Client to Secure Firewall Threat Defense remote access VPN gateway. You can limit the maximum bandwidth by using a Quality of service (QoS) policy in threat defense, to ensure that a single user or group or users do not take over the entire resource. This configuration lets you give priority to critical traffic, prevent bandwidth hogging, and manage the network. If a When traffic exceeds the maximum rate, the threat defense drops the excess traffic.
