Title: Packeteer
The Packeteer unit would have the ability to apply some quality of service
to your outbound traffic (via TCP window manipulation with application layer
awareness).
However, doing so would require them to setup a policy based on the
application requirements at your site. I would expect them to have
discussions with you about this type of thing before moving forward as it is
somewhat intrusive.

I wonder if anyone can assist. We have 2 MEG links
from a 7500 Router in our organisation to various ISP's. One particular ISP
has implemented bandwidth management with the use of Packeteer. They tell us
that by placing the Packeteer unit at the ISP they can assist with managing
the bandwidth across our 2 MEG link in both directions. I understand that with
the Packeteer unit placed at the ISP they will be able to assist with
bandwidth management incoming to our 7500 but surely they cannot manage
bandwidth outgoing from our 7500 Surely the data is on our 2 MEG link before
it reaches the ISP where the Packeteer unit is? Would we not require a unit on
our side as well?
Any comments on this or Packeteer will be
appreciated.
