Re: Size Does Matter...

[EricMerillat@ferris.edu]

At Ferris State we have a 30Mb limit on our T3 and are actively blocking
all P2P that the Packeteer recognizes at the layer 7 level and our 6500
doesn't even break a sweat.  We purchased that model so that we would have
room to grow without swapping out equipment down the road.
Eventually Digital Video delivery of classes is going to be more feasible
as more home users get broadband and when the school decides to
go that direction I want to be ready for it!

I'm curious what you all would recommend for a 24 meg Internet 1 + 12
meg Internet II connection for the size of packetshaper???  For a
University with students to do lots of L7 KaZaA.  I realize that a 4500
would do it (in theory) but taking into account much Layer7 resource
consumption I feel compelled to kick it up a notch...but just how much???

TIA,
Jay
