My company’s primary business is MSP and VOIP. We also resell resell fiberoptic internet through our local municipal ISP. We started with a /24 block of public addresses. The city maintains all of the infra and all of our clients are on a VLAN, which is fed back to our rack in the city’s data center. We purchase dedicated bandwidth from the city that is shared by all of the clients on the VLAN. We do not currently have the ability to rate shape the clients as we do not have control over the switches, and as a result there is competition for bandwidth during peak times. I can request rate shaping be placed on the client switch ports by the city, but we’d like to have more control over this ourselves. Can anyone offer some guidance as to how we would go about rate shaping traffic to/from individual clients within a VLAN when we don’t have control of the switch ports? I can put whatever equipment I need in the rack but I haven’t wrapped my head around how to tackle this.
