Limit number of connections per minute?

[maxell121]

Is there a program that can monitor the number of connections my computer makes in a minute, and will automatically disconnect me, or not allow any more connections if I exceed a certain number?

The admin of my network bans anyone from the network for three days if they exceed 60 connections in a minute.

I already have tcpview, but it doesn't have this feature. Also, it needs to work for Windows Vista.

Thanks for your help.

What do you have that connects more than 60 times a minute?

I host an internet radio show over a multicasting program called peercast.

Why do you need to know?

Obviously, this would be a configuration of the Peercast application, I can't imagine you limiting it any other place. I suspect it creates a connection for each listener.

Custom settings to limit bandwidth and the number of connections in/out

Even so, that only limits the number of connections total. I need something that manages the number of connections over a time amount for all of the connections on my computer, not just through peercast.

I don't know of anything that will do that, since each application controls it's own destiny.
