The ET/BWMGR bandwidth limiter that works on Ethernet and synchronous interfaces is now available for FreeBSD and BSD/OS. The bandwidth limiter limits traffic based on IP address or network address and is particularly suitable for WEB hosting or co-located servers which require limited access to backbone bandwidth. The limiter allows multiple hosts, virtual hosts or entire networks to be limited to any bandwidth below the physical medium on one or more interfaces. Each address or network can have independent limits, allowing you to mix high and low volume customers conveniently on a single LAN. The bandwidth limiter is available as a full-featured demo that can be upgraded to a full-production product by simply obtaining an activation key from ET. The limiter is contained in our 2.2beta11 driver and requires a new utility, bwaddr for set up. The Bandwidth Limiter also keeps utilization statistics which can be viewed on the command line and stored in an ascii- delimited format with another provided utility, bwstats. The delimited output can be saved in a file and can be used to generate reports with user-created post processing scripts. There are 2 levels of activation key available. Customers which have one of our boards in the limiting PC can obtain a board-level key for $150. Stand-alone keys, which will work with any system with at least one ethernet adapter installed, are $495. Information regarding the product and on-line manuals can be found at: http://www.etinc.com/bwmgr.htm
