I believe the original intentions are to balance server resources for maximum utilization and not for bandwidth throttling. These are two very different services, load balancing VS QOS.

Load balancing IS the result of bandwidth throttling. Just think about it.

Those links are for (mostly) bandwitdh throttling. -- Joel Dinel System Administrator TouchTunes Digital Jukebox, Inc.
