Why waste a T3 port.  Run ethernet if they are that close.  Don't overlook the benefit of using the old thin-net for 200m.

Subject: Bandwidth Control Question

Hello,

A customer of ours in the next building would like 6M of Internet bandwidth from us, so we would wire a DS3 between the two buildings for connectivity.

The question is: how to we control the amount of bandwidth that we give them? Could we use rate limiting to contain the bandwdith to 6M, our would we need to get external IDSU's to do that?

Note: we have a Cisco 7206VXR router on our end. The customer has a Cisco 7513.


Thanks,
 
= TC
