My friend was telling me about this program that will slow down LAN, and we were trying to find it (It was used about the year 2000 and ran on Windows).

How can I slow down the LAN for a specified IP address?

You said you are using windows, If you are willing to pay for the application, you can use netlimiter on the offending computer to limite the bandwidth that it uses: https://www.netlimiter.com/

This is called IP QOS (quality of service) and might be implemented by the networking devices (routers/switches), at the OS level or even at the service level (application).

Here are examples of OS level IP QOS documentation for Solaris, Linux and Windows.

If you're running an RRAS server or ICS, then you can use bandwidth management apps like Netlimiter or Bandwidth Controller on that computer to limit traffic.

If you have a router or modem-composite that's capable of bandwidth management, you can use that too.

In other words, the routing device has to implement the bandwidth control features.

However, unless there are remote bandwidth control features available, bandwidth limiting attempts from any other computer would be akin to running a DDOS attack, which is counterproductive to your network and unethical anywhere else.

RRAS = Routing and Remote Access Service, ICS = Internet Connection Sharing
