RE: Network Traffic
Then check it out. This thing is wonderful and great for throttling bandwidth to specific apps or users. It is just incredible. Check out their site, call a VAR and get a 30 day demo. I promise you at the end of 30 days you will keep it.

Re: Network Traffic
Carlos, I'm with Martin on this one. I've got a Packeteer and love it. It give me the monitoring I need and the ability to shape the traffic. Call your local Packeteer Salesman and have him bring one out for a 30 day eval. He'll be happy to do it He knows once a Packeteer goes in for an eval, it usually doesn't come out. Cost 8K-10K with maintanance. - David - Original Message - From: Martin Blackstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 2:02 PM Subject: RE: Network Traffic Then check it out.

RE: Network Traffic
I have two Packeteer 2000's, one never out of the box. The other used for two months. The purchasing company was sold and these were left behind in the building. No support or maintenance contract in existence, but my company does own them because we bought everything in the building. Make an offer! BTW, I was with the company that moved out and worked with the Packeteer in use and it performed particularly well on a frame relay doing VoIP.
