Network World recently reviewed the major shaper products. Packeteer came
out on top. Ive used it for about 6-months and its never rebooted or had a
problem. Nice to be able to controll your bandwidth for collocation
customers, etc.. which is all I use it for, but its got a ton of other
features. Such as serving up diffrent web pages depending on the speed of
the incoming request (modem customers get one set and 64K and higher a
diffrent).
