You could run CAR on the router, specify each customers IP block in access
lists, and apply the CAR to their sub-interface. Or if it is worth it to
you, you could spend some money on an external traffic shaping device. I
have found Packeteer to make very good devices, and they have some pretty
cool features such as traffic graphing and ability to do filtering much
deeper into packets than routers not running NBAR. Hope this helps.

Subject: Traffic management
This is the question for those folks who work in the ISP field. If you
have a
service provider that has an office right in the same building as your
office,
they usually give you an ethernet drop right into your office to where
you
need it and limit to whatever the bandwidth you need, 1mb - 100mb. My
issue
is that I have 20+ customer in the same building and need to provide a
fix
bandwidth 16kbps and burst up to 64kbps or more, depend on the
customer's
subscription, how will I go about do this? Put 20+ ethernet interface
in a
router and setup traffic management on each interface or put a WAN
switch in
the building to drop 20+ T1/E1 with FR to all the customers?
BTW, don't laugh, 16kbps may not mean anything to us in US, but it does
mean a
lot to those countries that don't have any link to the internet at all.
