I think it may make sense for more people than you think once it's
announced. It's not all finalized yet, but there are some significant
advantages to this model that I think will be very interesting to ISPs
in general.

Oh really … that’s interesting. For us it wouldn’t make sense but for
a lot of WISP’s it would actually make complete sense….
thanks for that clarification …

They actually do have a per-subscriber model now with their
virtualized product. I'm working with Procera on some configurations
for this for the WISP market right. Feel free to reach out to me
directly if anyone is interested in learning more.

Procera isn’t licensed per user .. it’s licensed based on throughput

OK, I think Procera and Sandvine both have a per user cost (maybe a
couple dollars per user) and Procera has a cost for purchasing
upfront. My box which can do a gig of traffic cost $18,000 with the
first year of signature updates and it is like $2500 annually after
that.

Kurt,
We use PPPoE/Radius to set basic Queues on the Access Servers
but want to do shaping at an application level. Ntop reports
are showing an increasing number of things getting out of
control. Windows updates %#@?! for one.

Are you are just looking to shape general traffic to a client
(like give someone a 1.5Mbps plan) then you could use Mikrotik
and simple queues which is very in-expensive. If you want to do
some shaping on an application like only streaming or Windows
Updates and stuff like that then that's where things start to
get expensive. I am using the Procera myself for that and
although I havn't tried any of the other brands you mention I
am very happy with the Procera.

had a look at Procera so far. I have a list of

look into:
