RE: OT : Bandwidth Management Appliance

Ok -

Don't tell me the riverbed and waas - that is not a real bandwidth management
platform.

I'm looking for something that can do

1. Allow all users to each use up to 5mbps of youtube.com

2. Unless the overall network traffic is above 50% of 100mbps

3. Then throttle each stream from youtube.com to 1Mbps

4. Voip, citrix, vpn protocols should each never be rate-limited unless
any unique source ip's traffic for these protocols exceeds 5mbps, but not if
the network is under 50% utilized.

I could go on and on - I know I need the damn bluecoat packetshaper - but its
like $70,000 per box plus mandatory support contract...

We are currently reviewing 2 products for an executive business center that
will have 100mbps internet - and need to carve it up amongst subtenants in 5mb
or 10mb increments, but with conditions beyond what can be done with cisco qos
or simply limiting the user's edge switch port to 5mbps, etc.

We were looking at bluecoat packetshaper (formerly the packeteer acquisition)
- however its priced for a defense contractor or govt. agency only... not to a
mid-size enterprise... (we priced it at $150,000 all in)

So last week at Interop NYC we met Anritsu - which seems to have a similar
device at a much lower price - but we cant find any information on their
website about the product they were showing at the show last week - so who
knows if it's a mature product?

Any other products team?

Thanks!

Hello Experts

Looking for a device which helps in Bandwidth Management based on services.
Total Internet bandwidth 25MB.

To give you example ; Requirement to dedicate bandwidth on-

SMTP traffic = 5MBOWA = 5MBSSL VPN : 5MBWeb hosting HTTP traffic out to in =
2MBInternet Browsing In-to-Out = 5MB

Appreciate some advice on making the above possible with alternative options
as well.
