Dear" on 14/01/2000 13:19:13 Please respond to ndear@areti.net To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG cc: (bcc: Thierry HERBELOT/FR/ALCATEL) Subject: Bandwidth limiting on Switch. Hi, We're about to start doing some co-location, and we will need to restrict the bandwidth to each machine. I'm assuming we need some sort of switch with bandwidth throttling capabilities? We'd need to throttle from 32K, or 64K upwards, in 64K increments. Could anyone recommend a particular product, or how they do the job? TIA. N. -- Nicholas J.
