NSURLSession Bandwidth Limit

Is there a way to limit bandwidth in NSURLSession ?

I am making a file sync for macOS like Dropbox/GoogleDrive/pCloud and everyone has bandwidth limit options, but I'm not sure how to configure NSURLSession to comply with bandwidth limit.

If Apple hasn’t added anything recently, NSURLSession doesn’t provide any bandwidth limits. The only thing I know is:

  • Use the lower-level APIs that allow you to provide your own sockets and then throttle the data rate at the TCP socket level.
  • Provide a web proxy in the application and use it for all outgoing requests. Configure a proxy server to limit the bandwidth of all requests passing through it.
