Oh, YES – this.

 

Photo Sharing and iCloud Backup on phones and Macs, Windows Update, a 
BitTorrent share of the latest Game of Thrones episode, a sullen teenager 
hiding in a closet watching Netflix, Dad furiously trying to top his high score 
on that speedtest.net “game” – all of these use bandwidth, whether or not you 
know they’re active. This seems to be a good 60%+ of our support calls these 
days

 

Also…

 

Remember: On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.

Haha, my new favorite thing customers say:  “But I’m not even on my phone”

 

Sorry, customer, the OS and apps are running, and your device is using your 
Internet without you.  Not to mention your Roku, satellite receiver, smart TV, 
Dropcam, garage door opener, sump pump, refrigerator, light bulbs, and probably 
your pets.

We have gigs more capacity than we use.  The Procera is much more than that.   

 

So many tools...We use it as a tool to identify usage, so that users can be 
told how their connection is being used when they say they are not using 
it....bandwidth shaping for 900MHz AP's...network diagnostics for VoIP...and 
many more.  Support loves it, begs for it, and uses it on most bandwidth 
complaint calls.

 

Regards,
Chuck

Example, our Procera licensing lapsed, I just paid the full price to get us 
current, even though we will only be getting <6mths of support.

I would not buy a 7720. If it's not listed on Procera's website under 
'Products', it's EOL and they may not even license it anymore. Without 
licensing, it's essentially worthless.

What I would do is contact a Procera reseller first, let them know what you're 
looking at, and they can generate a quote for you to license/support it. It may 
be cheaper than buying a new one if it's an expensive chassis, but I doubt you 
would save much in this particular case, and you may end up with an unusable 
chassis.
