Bandwidth Limit/Cap for Connected Devices

[juliusm254]

Feature request. Can we have a bandwidth limit setting for devices in list? This would be super cool.

Interesting.

I'll look at some way to track the amount of data used per client.

Assuming I am able to keep track, I would be able to then add a hard data usage limit, but I'm not sure about actively limiting bandwidth during usage. I'll certainly look at it though.

Thanks!

Dev notes:

We can track the number of bytes used as a ulong, which will track up to 18446 petabytes, that's fine for now.

We have to change joinTo to copyTo finally close to track byte counts, but once we do that we should be good.

From there we can setup and enforce bandwidth usage limits per IP client.

Great.

Thanks

With the release of version 43, I have added the ability to define a bandwidth limit for each connected device, as well as define a device by a nick-name.

Thank you for your contribution to the project!
