Hi,
we have a data center with multiple customers that use our shared internet breakout for their firewalls. We have an inline Packet Shaper (BlueCoat), that sits between the ISP-Router and the individual firewalls and controls the assigned bandwidth to each customer by IP-Groups.
E.g. customer A has 3 public IPs assigned, pays for 30Mbps and has a burst rate of 50 Mbps if the line is free. CusB has one server (IP) and 5/10 Mbps, etc. - pretty simple setup.
Our current solution needs to be refreshed, and for such a trivial function the estimated cost would be around 100k$.
What are you guys using? Are there any simpler/cheaper solutions?
Cause I think for our simple scenario with 300 Mbps Internet connection, maybe even an open source solution (server with 2 IFs) would be enough - if there is any.
I just googled a bit and stumbled upon "Open Traffic Shaper", but their documentation is a bit poor. I couldn't even figure out if it would be possible to use it in such a way (Layer2 transparent).
