We've been using the Allot NetEnforcer product for years but now that we need something that can push >10Mbps to the Internet, we have decided to build our own solution rather than pay the $$$ to upgrade the Allot.
We're basically customizing iproute and iptables on a Debian Linux box ... We had considered trying the ETINC solution but were dissuaded by reports like the ones here about the quality of the support. However, recently on another list, someone mentioned that the support was actually quite good now. I wonder if something has changed ...

We used to use etinc's bandwidth manager. Its great software, but the support is horrid. I mean really horrid, if you ask for support you get a response from the developer (Dennis) basically telling you that you are an idiot and should go read. We gave up it after a couple of years and decided to use Mikrotik, which has been the best thing we've done. Mikrotik is a router os, but also allows you to setup scripts. Scripts have allowed me to setup some fairly dynamic traffic shaping that adjusts itself to keep high priority traffic moving along. I am also able to add cheap bandwidth via DSL and cable connections and run low priority traffic on those. If anything goes down the scripts adjust my traffic flow until the circuit comes back up, in which case it reverts to its previous state. If a circuit goes down the scripts also adjust my traffic shaping to keep things moving along.

Mostly in P2P 'pipe'. Upgrades seems very expensives. Any suggestions of another devices to handle it same/best way? Just read about Emerging Technologies ( www.etinc.com ) with other kind of control, besides adding transparent cache. Anybody using it?
