[asterisk-users] Bandwidth shapping device

[Angel Heart]

Hi,

What Network Switch you are using? I do traffic/bandwidth shapping on the edge switch where the port the voice installed, you can configure each port to 128Kbps or just plain Ethernet Port. So the link between bldg. will always be 10Mb/s, who ever uses it whether data or  voice and enable switch port prioritization.

HP ProCurve and Cisco switches do this features. Don't know if others can do it.

Regards

Angel

I have to say, that unless you are quite good at driving Linux or *BSD's 
firewall/traffic shaping mechanisms, then I'd probably go for a Cisco - 
especially if this is a full-on corp-rat environment.

I would use a Linux box, but then I've been using Linux boxes for a great 
number of years including setting up some hairy/scarey traffic management.
