Bruce, Are these broadband customer using PPPoE or L2TP? If so, I suggest looking at the capabilities of your BRAS to do the work.
Per user bandwidth quotas are the nature of the game here in Australia and doing it at the BRAS is the way we do it. RADIUS gives you byte counts and gives you the ability to pass back rate limits etc.
What you didn't tell him is that the kind of shaping you can do on the BRAS heavily depends on features used and platform. :) 64k policing mostly works everywhere, for example, but isn't all that crash hot for your clients. :) Doing more complicated hierarchical QoS on software platforms is doable but complicated. Others take a multi-tiered approach - they'll buy some kit to do P2P identification/shaping, and per-user hard shaping in case they go over quota. Lots of cute stuff. :) Adrian

Hi,
Does anyone know of any Shaping appliances to shape customers based on IP, allow for a quota per IP and qos mechanisms like LLQ?, This is should be something that can sit in between two border router's and support a small ISP (20000 customers), also an opensource solution would be great!

Bruce
