[WISPA] QoS VPN router
Hi, I am looking for a suggestion for a QoS capable VPN router/firewall. What would be preferred is a router with 4 ports and the ability to allocate so much bandwidth to each individual port. Any ideas? thanks, Travis Microserv WISPA Wants You!

Travis, How much overall bandwidth do you need to move through this device? Do you need 10/100 or gigE ports? -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering*MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *http://blog.butchevans.com/*Wired or wireless Networks* *http://www.wisp-forums.com/*http://www.wisp-wiki.com/ *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Professional Technical Trainer* WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] QoS VPN router
The main location has a 3meg fiber and the remote location has a 1meg DSL. The issue is they have a phone system that ties back to the main office via an ethernet trunk. When things get busy, calls are getting dropped. I've never setup a MT to do any VPN settings (we use Cisco ASA boxes 99% of the time). How hard is MT to configure for IPSEC VPN tunnels? I don't even know where to start on that issue... Travis Microserv Butch Evans wrote: On Wed, 1 Oct 2008, Travis Johnson wrote: I am looking for a suggestion for a QoS capable VPN router/firewall.

I don't even know where to start on that issue... IPSEC? Very easy (with a couple of exceptions, you just make sure settings are the same on both ends). OpenVPN may be another solution, assuming there isn't UDP traffic involved (SIGH...help us out, here, MT). Alternatively, depending on the requirement for high security, you may want PPtP or L2TP (both very easy). Then again, you can opt to bridge the network ethernet to ethernet and go with EoIP (nah...). All in all, vpn is very easy. There's LOTS of choices and most are pretty easy and straightforward. I don't have a blog entry, yet, for IPSEC, but I see a cloud in the crystal ball...can't quite make it out, yet.ahh, we'll see what that means later, I suppose. ;-) -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering*MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *http://blog.butchevans.com/*Wired or wireless Networks* *http://www.wisp-forums.com/*http://www.wisp-wiki.com/ *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Professional Technical Trainer* WISPA Wants You!
