Note: delurk. Some of the commercial traffic shaping devices reviewed here are tens of thousands of dollars. For a smaller ISP (i.e. less than a DS3 of aggregate upstream bandwidth), that kind of expense doesn't make sense-- but the need to control bandwidth consumption is still an issue. Is anyone on the NANOG list aware of a disk-less Linux solution? One might imagine a Knoppix-like bootable CD image (perhaps CD-RW, so config files could be updated) that would turn an inexpensive Linux box into an effective traffic shaping device, using tools like CBQinit, MRTG/RRDTOOL, and a Webmin-like admin interface. The closest thing to this I've seen is ETINC's BWMGR, but that's a closed-source solution and is still somewhat expensive.
http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/ perhaps? The full version is inexpensive, the non-GUI version is freely available. Cheers, Steve
