Im due to deploy a Packateer on one of my customers connections to control their internet connection as it is heavily used. I was curious to see if anyone had any real worls experience or gotchas they had come across
For what reason do you deploy the "Packeteer"? Which product of the company are you using? Are you doing it to look into the traffic for a usage analysis or are you doing it for QoS? How fast is their internet connection? How many users with what kind of traffic are _expected_ to use the internet? How do you want to "control their internet connection"? What for? Maybe it is cheaper to install a proxy (if it is not there) or simply a bigger pipe. I never heard since now anything about that company. But for traffic analysis an tcpdump, Ethereal and some knowledge about what _should_ go over the link in conjunction with perl and gnuplot should do it. As for QoS the most routers today can do it on service level. If that is not enough a Packeteer PacketShaper or similiar products from other vendors may suite you (I have not looked into the product specs). Hope that helps Marc __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
