Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to say that while I have no experience of the load balancer or the ET Bandwidth manager, that the ET product I have used works very well. My employer bought an ET5025 ISA card (X25 + Frame relay, V35, up to 2 Mbps) for use in a FreeBSD router (Frame In, Ether out using IPFW as a packet filter) as a potential CIsco 2503 replacement. I am very pleased with the result since IMHO - the ET/FreeBSD performs at least as well as the Cisco - the ET/FreeBSD product is *much* easier to manage eg . ssh to the router . ipfw rules in an RCS managed repository . the advanatages of a general purpose FreeBSD computer eg using lynx to view pages, bpfilter for capuring data, ssh/scp for putting new applications in place, patches to fix things etc If the Juniper (FreeBSD based router aimed at the Internet core: http://www.juniper.com) products succeeds, there may be a great change in the behaviour of layer 3 switches/routers. The ET products work well and I am pleased to promote them.
