I was told that the xedia boxes only shape outgoing bandwidth, not incoming. I haven't had the chance to ask xedia about this yet, and haven't gotten their box in yet, so I'm not positive if this is true, but you may want to check it out before buying. On Fri, 30 Oct 1998, bcurnow wrote:
I got some followups/corrections on key points which I feel I should distribute: The person from Xedia who told me 600 was the class limit, emailed me again and realized that I might really mean how many end points under control of those classes. The answer I came away with is that the Xedia can support a lot more end points (users) than 600. Hope I got that right. :) An engineer at UU.net also said 600 was too low, and that it is more an issue of how much RAM is in the box. He said thousands, which sounds promising. So, if I had to buy today, it looks like Xedia is the one to have if you're doing things on a large scale. ----------------- Brian Curnow ----------------
