Check out Packeteers Packetshaper. We use one here to monitor our Internet and WAN traffic. It's pricey, but has excellent reporting, offers layer 7 qos and extensive reporting. www.packeeter.com

We currently have a Cisco managed switch that does not support QoS. If a new switch will give us the capability we need, then I don't see a need for anything else. However, we would like to have features like reporting and a management GUI. I haven't bought a new managed switch in a very long time, so I don't know if there are any out there that will provide that functionality (these Cisco 2900XL's are the only managed switches I have experience with, and they definitely don't support QoS according to Cisco Tech Support). > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete McNeil > Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 12:34 PM > To: Dan Horne > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] WAY OT: Bandwidth Management (once > more with feeling) > > On Tuesday, April 25, 2006, 12:00:00 PM, Dan wrote: > > DH> I know this has been discussed before on this list, but > what are you > DH> guys using for bandwidth management, and what are your > experiences? > > DH> Background: We provide internet access for many of the > tenants in > DH> our building, as well as hosting hundreds of websites on > Apache2 and IIS6. > DH> Those services are on two different physical networks, but they > DH> share our WAN line.
