I've been reading the thread, and I thought the original posting was quite clear, perhaps I misunderstood his question.
Firstly there's no 802.11b network on this planet through putting 11Mb over the air interface. Still, whatever the 'real world' throughput there is often a desire to manage it as opposed to leaving it wide open. In a commercial environment it is prudent to meter the bandwidth, especially when you have a finite amount of it, and one kiddie on Kazaa can suck the life out of it and ruin it for everyone else. Paying customers demand and expect a certain level of service. If you aren't a Linux hacker, then there are black boxes that will do it, they cost a few bucks. A good example is the YDI bandwidth Control Unit, they take all the programming out of the equation and give you a nice user interface. If Joe only wants to pay for 128k up/downstream then that's all Joe gets etc. http://www.ydi.com/products/bcu.php Cheers Nigel Nigel Ballard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.joejava.com -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
