I am looking to do the shaping on Ethernet Interfaces for a large fiber plant. I have been looking the solution by Aponet. Anyone out there used it?

Hmm, it depends of what do you mean as _successfully_ -:).
It works, but creates some bugs under heavy conditions.

Has anyone here successfully implement the traffic shaping option on a Cisco router? -- Natambu Obleton - Network Administrator - Frontier Internet Inc. 970 385 4177 - fax: 970 385 6745 - http://www.frontier.net 777 Main St. - Suite #201 - Durango - Colorado - 81301 - USA

I've been using them for quite some time (~ 1 year?). Aponet was slammed by NetworkWorld recently. The strange thing is I have never seen the problems the reviewer in NW mentioned. We regularly pump > 7Mbps through their 10Mbps box and have started stress testing the 100Mbps box. The primary shortcoming I see with Aponet's solution is the lack of prioritization or limitation by port number or protocol. Aponet assures me they are currently working on a new release that includes such functionality. In the interest of full disclosure, I did hang out at Aponet's Spring ISPCon booth and helped them (for free) with a technical presentation. Other than that, I'm just one of their customers.
