In this situation I am about to implement data over a private fiber network in my town. Many businesses are planning to connect to this private fiber network for internet access and I want to sell Fractional usage on this private fiber network in 128k increments. I want to only limit their speed to the outside world, allowing them full Ethernet speed over the fiber to our local mail and proxy servers. We plan to use a cabletron switch to connect about 30-40 pairs of fiber to our network. That switch will be going FDDI back to my noc. So the best place to limit this is at the router where my internet connection comes in. Which is currently a Cisco 3640. I have thought about using a Aponet or Xedia box in between my FDDI switch and the router, but I would rather to the shaping on the router if possible. We would need to traffic shape up to 30-40 Ethernet speed users and 15-20 wireless users in the area. From the talk on this list about this, I do not think my Cisco router can do it. I will probably go ahead with an Aponet or Xedia solution. -- 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 -----Original Message----- From: Ehab Hadi <ehabh@hotmail.com> To: nanog@merit.edu <nanog@merit.edu>; no@frontier.net <no@frontier.net> Date: Friday, April 24, 1998 11:15 PM Subject: Re: Traffic Shapping

Natambu, Can you please specify what platform that you are using? any why you like to do the traffic shaping on the Ethernet which is suppositly 10 Mbps?

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? I believe it is what above.net uses.

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
