Re: Traffic Management
First off, there's probably a better place for this question - but I understand why you'd post here, there's a lot of activity from people with Network experience in this forum.
As far as consumers level products go, you could definitely do this kind of management with a Linux router and iptables/netfilter with specific rules. Unfortunately I've yet to find an easy way to do this, it takes a lot of hacking rulesets to get things right. I know all of your examples could be accomplished with iptables - the functionality it there it's just got to be implemented intelligently.
For business level equipment, I couldn't say specifically. I haven't had that much experience with the expensive hardware stuff to know. I'm sure it exists though. One of the neat things I've seen are »www.routescience.com/ routescience boxes.
Hope this helps. |

| QOS is a hot topic, but to give you a simple answer you can accomplish this with a openbsd router it is awesome and easier to work with pf than with iptables just my 2 cent. Here is an example.

This is just a small example of what you can do. I actually have it setup with specific rules for port 80, 21, and 22, web ftp and ssh. ALQ and pf works wonders that is something you should look into. |
