RE: Traffic Management

Bill,

Have you tried a cacheing proxy server?  If many of your users are going to
the same sites, a cacheing proxy server can help reduce the amount of
redundant traffic happening through your network.

Subject: [fw-wiz] Traffic Management


        Folks,

        Recently we've been experiencing "congestion" of our internet pipe.
We've tried restricting various thing like Napster, Gnutella and the like
with varying degrees of success, but as more and more users come onto our
LAN/WAN we've noticed our performance decreasing. Rather than manage this at
our firewall (with many many rules), I'd like to know how you manage your
traffic. What do you use?

        I apologize if this question seems off topic, but thought I would
toss it out there and see what comes back...
