Re: fractional gigabit ethernet links?

Is this link in production? We are using a gigabit ethernet to our
provider. We are limited on our traffic going to Commodity traffic, but
have free reign on our Internet 2 traffic. We found that we get the best
results when we shape/police our traffic to stay within our contractual
limits, on our side of the link. Since we are using a 6509 with a Sup1A, we
had to do some tricky things to police traffic on only one vlan of an
802.1q trunk on the gigE connection. It works though. We see insignificant
losses on the link.

can you share how you are doing this?

Hybrid or integrated?




good luck!
