Thanks Hugo. If it were up to me, I would use Cisco NBAR. It is built into the IOS and much more accurate than Floodgate. I guess I just have to take Floodgate for what it worth. thanks again.

So at least some accuracy is lost there. Then it is my understanding that traffic shaping is done only by holding on to the packets. Where specialised devices do a lot more tricks to work their magic. As we also do PacketShapers and in my view FloodGate lacks a lot of the steering and accuracy to control sessions that other dedicated solutions have. Unless the user really, really, really wants it we don't sell it. It might work better if you test it with more real life like numbers like a few dozen sessions for each.
