Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Inexpensive rate limiting switch?
Hi Dave, I have one of these that will do what you want I believe. - I've moved on to a Packeteer and a large Catalyst. If you are interested let me know. http://www.netsys-direct.com/proddetail.php?prod=NS-2024Scat=12 -Nick Dave Doherty wrote: Hi, all- I'll be providing VOIP and Internet service to five to ten other tenants in the building I will be moving into in a couple of months.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Inexpensive rate limiting switch?
Dave, We have been using Compex switchs at end users locations with very good luck (vlan trucking and bandwidth control). I ask the regional rep if they had a switch made for your need his answer is below. Priced well under $200 for isps. If you want his contact number email off list, they have price for isps. Yes. What he wants is the SXP2224WM. It has bandwidth control and port priority.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Inexpensive rate limiting switch?
A 3Com 3200 series switch will support bandwidth limiting per port to the 1 Mbps level (I might sell you mine if you are interested). http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=featurespathtype=purchasesku=WEBBNC3200SYS The business line of Linksys switches provides rate limiting down to the kpbs level: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C1childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1134691195123pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper The 3Com is Fast Ethernet and goes for about $350 and $700 for 26-port or 50-port versions respectively. Linksys switches will go for about the same prices for the gigabit versions, but you might not have any good reason for going gigabit, and the Fast Ethernet versions will be $100 to $200 less. There are of course a host of other solutions with better granularity, but most managed switches these days provide the ability to shape bandwidth per port.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Inexpensive rate limiting switch?
What granularity do you need? Many managed switches can limit in multiples of 1Mbps. I set up a managed office space early last year that resells internet access to their tenants. Because they needed more granularity we went with a combination of a Cisco 2801 router and 3550 switch to get granularity below 1Mbps (actually in 8kbps chunks). The property management company later decided to set the limits higher than originally spec'd (at 1Mbps per switch port), choosing to run monthly reports and bill for overages rather than limit the customers. We also VLANed all of the offices to isolate them using the 3550 and a 2801 router, with some access-lists defined to allow all tenants access to onsite servers providing DNS, SMTP, intranet, file serving, and printer spooling. With the 2801 remote VPN access was also provided to tenants. I don't remember if the 2960 series of switches has rate limiting, but if it does that might be a good way to save a bit of money, but I highly recommend the 2801 router. It was designed specifically for the combination of internet and VOIP services. Prices for the 2801 are reasonable...it's the 3550 that quickly gobbles up a budget, so see if the 2960 will do what you need. Don't forget to budget for the appropriate WIC for the 2801, though. You're probably looking at ~$4k for the equipment, so lock in as many tenants for as long as you can to cover your outlay. I don't know if you can do it any cheaper and have any protection from one or two customers sucking up all of the pipe or degrading VOIP service. Hope this helps, Darin. - Original Message - From: Dave Doherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 9:41 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Inexpensive rate limiting switch?

You can always look at the Catalyst 2950 and do QoS traffic policing. Although you need the enhanced image to do this so it would bump the price up a bit.
