Another person sold on a name rather than the actual product. :) You won't get the functionality you're looking for from Cisco. Though you won't get exactly what you're looking for with pfSense either, specifically "provide bandwidth management and monitoring on a per-user, per-application basis". The best bet there on Cisco and pfSense is exporting Netflow to a collector. We have some built in options in packages. Similar on your other QoS point in that you'll have difficulty differentiating at least the streaming video part, that just looks like any other HTTP traffic in that regard. VoIP and video conferencing generally no issue. But no diff there from Cisco, and we actually make it easier. _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
