We also have had great success with the PacketShaper. Its ability to report on traffic usage, be it based on IP address or application has been extremely helpful. Of course its best feature is the shaping ability. It is also very easy to back up and upgrade; just a few ftp commands and a restart. And while it's in reboot mode, it will pass traffic anyway for the 30 or so seconds it takes to reboot. Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bradford B.

It it not really content management but we have had great success with Packeteer (http://www.packeteer.com) in controlling applications and such. Brad ----------------------------------- Bradford B.

I have a question to pose to you folks. We are looking to add some content management to our Internet
connectivity.
By "content management" I mean the ability to report and control
internet
traffic based on content. We are currently evaluating WebSense Enterprise http://www.websense.com/products/about/wse/ And Elron Software's Web Inspector http://www.elronsoftware.com/productfamily/webinspector.shtml Our requirements include: Ability to report on Internet usage Ability to block/control Internet usage Manage and report on individual users. Scale to 2000 active connections. Integrate to existing infrastructure (including Cisco PIX and Cisco
Cache
engines) Be cost effective Can anyone share their experiences with either of these products? Recommendations? Thanks in advance! Pete Hoffswell 616-732-1101
