[asterisk-users] Inexpensive device for bandwidth management

[Mike]

Actually that was my original thought.  BUT
according to what I read on
their FAQ, the hardware that can be used is rather limited.  How do I secure
a reliable supply of those?

Thanks....the thing is I need many device (one for each of my hosted
customers) and I'd like this process to be as easy for non-techies as
possible, because some of those are technologically-challenged, and need to
install the box by themselves or with the help of an IT person that only
knows how to install a run of the mill router.
 
So an out-of-the-box thing would be better, but I was recommende the pfsense
before and will take a look at it.

The following two links deal with the same familly of boxes.
 
Generally it's $20 for a case,
$20 for a powersupply, but you've probably got an old one that will work.
and almost all of their boards are under $200, except for the ones with
lots of gigabit interfaces.  Many are under $100.

Hi,
 
 
 
I'm looking for a good network device that does bandwidth management. 
      

It
  

can be integrated in a router or stand-alone, but must be SIP-friendly.
 
 
 
I`ve tried the DIR-655 (latest firmware is SIP-hostile, and the latest
hardware revisions can't downgrade to the version that worked well) and
      

the
    

DI-724GU (SIP-friendly, but bandwidth management is automated and not
configurable enough for my taste), both from D-link.
 
 
 
What else is out there and allows me to do upstream QoS on cable/DSL
      

links?
    

Both D-Link routers were under 200$ (99$ and 159$ respectively) and were
perfect price-wise for my target customers.
 
 
 
Mike
