There are a few things you can do.  The simplest is to setup Priority Queues based on 
the type of traffic you want to get delivered first.  This by itself likely won't get 
you what you want.  You need to go to the Cisco Docs CD or look it up on Cisco's 
website how to implement Rate Limits based on certain types of traffic or even source 
and destination traffic.  You have to be careful not to be too strict in the 
parameters because you can limit yourself into only using part of the T1 and never 
being able to use all of it.  You could set it up such that File Transfers can use 
100% of the line as long as no other traffic needs the line.  If other traffic needs 
the BW, the router would back off the file transfer traffic to a limit you specify 
giving other traffic BW.  You need to be good with setting up ACLs as they are 
essential to making things work properly.  You could also setup priority Queuing in 
conjunction with the Rate Limits to give you more flexibility.

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Cisco Router & Bandwidth


I have a T1 connection two offices with a Cisco 2611 on each side.  How is
that one person can max the T1 by copying 1 really large file (500MB) but
the T1 going to my ISP can handle many transactions like this before it
maxes.  It's as if the largest job gets the bandwidth needed to get the job
done quickest.  Is there a way to limit this so it works like my 2621
linking to the ISP?
