Xedia Corporation makes a nifty device specifically for IP traffic shaping. It seems fairly well evolved, and can act as a bridge or a router, though it's definitely built for the edges of a network.

Network World recently reviewed the major shaper products. Packeteer came out on top. Ive used it for about 6-months and its never rebooted or had a problem. Nice to be able to controll your bandwidth for collocation customers, etc.. which is all I use it for, but its got a ton of other features. Such as serving up diffrent web pages depending on the speed of the incoming request (modem customers get one set and 64K and higher a diffrent). Stb
