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.

Tom, If you are using Cisco's on both ends, you can easily do: interface SerialX/0 bandwidth 6144 ip address <IP Address> 255.255.255.252 no ip redirects no ip directed-broadcast no ip proxy-arp load-interval 30 dsu bandwidth 6144 no dsu remote accept scramble cablelength 450 no cdp enable ! This configuration is specific to Cisco, but if you have a device that is not Cisco on the other end, just look at the dsu mode options. Btw, this configuration will allow you to do traffic-shaping, or rate-limiting for other things without making it overly complicated. thanks, charles On Fri, Dec 19, 2003 at 09:25:44AM -0600, Claydon, Tom wrote:

Bandwidth Control QuestionWhy waste a T3 port. Run ethernet if they are that close. Don't overlook the benefit of using the old thin-net for 200m. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Claydon, Tom Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 7:26 AM To: 'nanog@merit.edu' 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.

I'd be cautious about metal between buildings, but Ethernet on fiber might make sense.
