# Bandwidth Limit

Limit forwarded bandwidth per tunnel. Configure it under `transport` on `[[tunnels]]`.

- `bandwidthLimitSide = "client"`: limit on the client
- `bandwidthLimitSide = "server"`: limit on the server

`bandwidth` is a number in Mbps (e.g. `2`, `0.5`). `0` means unlimited.

## Example: Limit on the client

```toml
# orbien.toml
[[tunnels]]
name = "web"
protocol = "tcp"
service = "127.0.0.1:80"
remotePort = 9000
transport.bandwidth = 2
transport.bandwidthLimitSide = "client"
```

## Example: Limit on the server

```toml
# orbien.toml
[[tunnels]]
name = "web"
protocol = "tcp"
service = "127.0.0.1:80"
remotePort = 9000
transport.bandwidth = 0.5
transport.bandwidthLimitSide = "server"
```
