You got it! Alternatively you could use the Linux box to prioritize
the traffic so that SunRay traffie takes priority over the Printer
traffic. i.e. if there is SunRay traffic then it gets sent
immediately, Printer traffic gets queued up and sent when there is
space.

Thanks Leigh,
So I guessing the ideal would be to throw the box in between the
single print server and the single data centre router and then
limited any traffic from the print server to any of the printers to
say 128kb/s each (slowing down the print jobs partially) thus
leaving a reasonable (but not ideal) margin for the client traffic.
Sound alright?.. or am I an architectural thug in need of education
and repeated beatings?

Linux has advanced traffic shaping abilities. Search on google for
"linux traffic shaping" and you'll soon find some interesting
stuff. A simple Linux box will easily do this job for you, cost
will be that of a box to run it on and some time.

I have a situation in a thin client architecture where on a low
bandwidth (256kb/s) link I have clients and a printer. Performance
is satisfactory except for when a print job gets sent to the
printer and the link gets swamped. Has anyone got any suggestions
on how to restrict the bandwidth consumed by the print traffic?
I have been recommended http://www.packeteer.com/ but wanted to
know if anyone else on the list has addressed this problem before?
It's a very small organisation with only a few users in each of a
dozen branches so are keen to limit the cost of any traffic
shaping overhead.
Thanks, Rob.
