Is there any method for a connected device to advertise the required throughput? Maybe some SNMP thing? That’s the only way this would work I think.

- everforward 1y agoUsers don't want to manage it, and ISPs don't want the tickets. Heuristic based systems would probably work in most homes, where devices are limited by their historical bandwidth. New devices are unthrottled, existing devices are limited by their historical bandwidth usage with some bursting. I think most ISPs have apps to control your router now, you could have it trigger a push notification like "Device X is using more bandwidth than normal, and we're throttling it. Press SCARY BUTTON to unthrottle."
