[asterisk-users] Bandwidth shapping device

[Arinze Izukanne]

Try Mikrotik RouterOS. They are quite str8 fwd to config and very very versatile. Documentation is also available.
   
  That would be a piece of cake to implement.

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.
