Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good bandwidth monitoring solution. We are starting to sell a DSL service and I was wondering if there are any products that will allow us to rate limit certain clients and also track their usage... any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

We use MRTG to monitor our clients bandwidth usage. Depending on your network it will either be a breeze to set up, or you will go bald trying to set it up ;)

I think Fluke makes someting that's pretty thorough...

If AnalogX has a product... i'd look into that... it's free and it's really simple to use.

If you just want to monitor bandwidth on links then Concord nethealth is supreme. When you get into rate limiting and such the look at packeteer.

Also if you have a decent cisco router you can use NetFlow switching to monitor and do accounting.

MRTG to monitor usage and Emerging Technologies bandwidth manager to do the rate limiting. Actually, if you buy a ET HDLC MultiPort T1 card, the bwmgr is free and you can have that machine as the router for all xDSL as well as core/border routing running FreeBSD or Linux and using Zebra... It gives Cisco's a run for the money which will cost you less than $2k total.

Or better yet, run Dummynet and MRTG on a FreeBSD box for free!

(Dummynet is a kernel option and allows you to highly tweak your connection.)
