+
+Description
+===========
+
+Starting with 1.3.8, lighttpd supports limiting the bandwidth for
+a single connection or config context like a virtual host or a URL.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+:connection.kbytes-per-second:
+ limit the throughput for each single connection to the given
+ limit in kbyte/s
+
+ default: 0 (no limit)
+
+:server.kbytes-per-second:
+ limit the throughput for all connections to the given limit
+ in kbyte/s
+
+ if you want to specify a limit for a special virtual server
+ use: ::
+
+ $HTTP["host"] == "www.example.org" {
+ server.kbytes-per-second = 128
+ }
+
+ which will override the default for this host.
+
+ default: 0 (no limit)
+
+Additional Notes
+================
+
+Keep in mind that a limit below 32kb/s might actually limit the traffic to 32kb/s. This
+is caused by the size of the TCP send buffer.
