Do not take this for the Gospel since I was only able to catch bits and pieces of a few different conversations over 2 days but, I think the packet limiting ability enables you actually put a number on how many PPS any sub can send/receive and all over that limit are dropped at the router. I didn't get to ask a couple questions that I wanted to - like:
1. Is the packet limiting capable of identifying and limiting specific types of traffic (i.e. P2P) or does it cast a broad net that does a complete PPS count? 2. Can it identify and drop certain sized packets - such as small UDP packets over the count of - - say - - 700pps w/payload under 60bits (likely a Virus/Trojan) I think I will copy Jeff Broadwick on this and see if we can get him in on this for some clarification. Butch too may know since he is the "people" that I am "well connected too" as well :) Mac From: Travis Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2007 9:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SPAM ? Re: [WISPA] Look how ComCast deals with P2P Importance: Low Mac, No, I did not... can you explain more? Are you talking about throttling packets per second at the router?
