Actually, I was thinking that a bandwidth-limiter on a per-machine basis might work very well for some of the small business networks that I support on the side.
Those folks can't afford to fork out $5000+ for a "real" router so there's no limiting capabilities right now.
Tell me more, Dirk.

How about an add-in to check the levels in the coffee machine and soft drink machine? :-)Seriously, though - bandwidth limiting is best handled at the router/switch level because of centralization of administration. A software based solution would be unwieldy at best, due it's distribution among machines in the enterprise. Smaller networks might benefit, however.Chris Mang>>
