There are a few options out there and a wide variety in price. I don't want to pay a ton for packeteer when something more affordable like netequalizer will work. Anyone had experience with these...or any others? We have about 1,000 users. Posted by: Ethereal_Dragon Can you be more specific about what specifically you are trying to shape, and what kind of hardware your network is using? Some higher end enterprise equipment is able to traffic shape at the port level, no special software needed. Posted by: Cyber Hunter I assume you mean Internet Limiting for that I use NetLimiter it's free but you will have to pay for the PRO. Posted by: itsisgreat Yes, I'm looking to shape internet traffic -- mainly for the purpose of reducing congestion caused by music/video downloads. People are free to do that kind of thing, but it can get to be a problem some times. Posted by: itsisgreat I've heard that shaping by port can be unreliable when battling applications that deliberatly tunnel through http. I was looking for a specialized piece of equipment. Not an add on to my router. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
