Why on earth are you on a mailing list if not to learn about technology and tools that can help you do your job better. This is not a social club, ya know. We are building and running networks and to the = best of my knowledge this is the *FIRST* such product available anywhere. Up until now the only way to achieve this was to buy two expensive routers and possibly a Synchronous Modem Eliminator if the routers couldn't = supply clock signals. With this bandwidth limiting technology ISP's can provide cheaper = Internet connectivity to customers. One scenario is to have a POP in a high-rise building and deliver precise bandwidth over in-building Ethernet. The other is to supply precise bandwith to colocated WWW servers.
