Usage Throttling

The usage throttling configuration options for MCS are shown in the image below.

Throttle connection tests from web page users by enforcing delay between test start times: This option, when checked, will enforce a delay between connection tests initiated by users via the web page. The delay can be set in milliseconds. The 'Maximum client delay' option allows you to set a time limit for how long clients must wait between test attempts.

Throttle connection tests from satellites by enforcing delay between test start times: This option allows you to throttle tests initiated from satellites, enforcing a delay between each test start. The delay is configured in milliseconds.

Limit number of tests each individual user may perform: Enabling this option will limit the number of tests any individual user is allowed to perform within a specified time period. You can set the number of tests and the time frame (in days, hours, etc.) to enforce this limit.

Please note that any changes to these settings will not be saved until you click the "Save" button located at the bottom of the page.
