Port throttling

Hi

I know that port throttling is possible with some Vigor routers, but does
anyone know if other manufacturers offer this feature on their routers?

All the best

Cisco

What is "port throttling"? If this means "give preference to certain
appications/ports" then don't the latest VoIP ATAs do this so that the phone
gets priority over downstream applications such as FTP or web browsing?

What I'm talking about is the ability to change the maximum throughput on
physical ports on the router. e.g. limit port 1 to 256kbps, so that one
user can't hog all the bandwidth.

You can also do this to some extent on the linksys wrt54g using modified
firmware ... although it didnt seem to have much depth of control.

Ive just bought myself a cisco 851 router to start looking at that sort
of thing properly but in their wisdom they dont appear to have put the
right ios image that contains the qos functions that I want to play with
and I dont know enough yet to do anything about it !!

I should have bought a vigor!
