Hi everyone, I was wondering if those of you "in the know" could give me a brief comparison about Cisco's CAR compared with Linux's traffic shaping solution, particularly HTB and ESFQ which I am using now with great success. The reason I am asking is that I anticipate within the coming months I will be receiving some pressure to convert our 8-way Linux router using a number of advanced features (like transparent proxying, NAT, multiple ISP upstreams with failover [via NAT], traffic shaping including tricks like putting SYN and ACK packets into separate classes, etc.) Initially the reason for using a Linux router all those many years ago was that Cisco routers were cost prohibitive, but I now continue to push the Linux solution because of its features. We are approaching a situation where we will be deploying campus-wide IP telephony and I expect that I will have to fight to keep Linux as our main campus router. Since I don't know much about Cisco router abilities, can someone tell me how Cisco's stuff fairs against the feature list I meantioned above? Thanks, Jason. -- Jason Tackaberry :: tack@auc.ca :: 705-949-2301 x330 Academic Computing Support Specialist Information Technology Services Algoma University College :: www.auc.ca _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
