I really dont have any experience with cisco routers. In our office with a 64k leased line we dont see much benefit from bandwidth management. Everything was slow but at least nobody can hog the bandwidth. When my boss starts calling people abroad over voip there is nothing much we can do but send and receive small emails.But he has good low latency conversation. Since im the only one using linux in the office,the high efficiency tcp/ip stack just shows it performance. firefox still gives me high speed browsing while the others on the office start pulling hair from ssl timeouts even with firefox on windows. Windows tcp/ip plus the firewall and various antivirus and antispyware programs just dont cut it. P2P just is not sustainable in this case. You just lose patience with 100 plus days ETA! Even ftp was strangled. When we changed to 1 Mb DSL we can really see the big benefit of bandwidth management. With the htb config optimised for bursty traffic P2P still is not viable. Nobody feels any slowdown and we can even do high quality conference calls via voip. -- www.smsglobal.net SMS Global Ltd Short Message Service For Seafarers _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
