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.
