I've got a remote site connected to the central site for Internet access via 2 
T1s to an ATM network. Voice has been allocated 800k of this bandwidth, and the 
rest is data. Network usage at this particular site has been growing within the 
past couple of months and at times bandwidth has been maxed out. I need some 
way to make sure bandwidth is allocated fairly. I'd like to be able to add more 
capacity, but that's not going to be possible right now.

One of the first things I thought of was unicast storm-control. If I went this 
route, I'm not sure what parameters to use. Right now, some ports are set to an 
upper limit of 5%, and some are set to 5k pps (the default value, I believe). 
This was all set up before I started here, and I've never really given it much 
though until this project came along. It looks like the upstream connection for 
that site rarely gets over 450 pps to the central site.

Questions:
- Is unicast storm-control a good option here, or should I look at others?
- If I do use it, can someone point me to where I can find some help on the 
best settings to use in this particular environment?
