across the internet.

NAT is in place. so no way to use ip as a unique identifier.

vpn was discussed but we can not use it.

i want to limit the bandwidth. lets say user has 50mbit but i want him only to use 10mbit.

right now only one. but it can grow if needed.

server has not unlimited speed. better control of the server bandwidth.
