Cisco ACE 4710 - rate limiting capabilities?

[tbone-111]

I have a Cisco ACE 4710.  Does this device have the ability to do rate limiting/traffic shaping on a per-session basis?  For example, if I'm load balancing 2 real servers, can I tell the ACE to limit each session to "XX" amount of bandwidth?

You might want to check out this new product called ITD.

Simple and faster solution:

ITD provides :

1. ASIC based multi-terabit/s L3/L4 load-balancing at line-rate
2. No service module or external L3/L4 load-balancer needed. Every N7k port can be used as load-balancer.
3. Redirect line-rate traffic to any devices, for example web cache engines, Web Accelerator Engines (WAE), video-caches, etc.
4. Capability to create clusters of devices, for example, Firewalls, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), or Web Application Firewall (WAF), Hadoop cluster
5. IP-stickiness
6. Resilient (like resilient ECMP)
7. VIP based L4 load-balancing
8. NAT (available for EFT/PoC). Allows non-DSR deployments.
9. Weighted load-balancing
10. Load-balances to large number of devices/servers
11. ACL along with redirection and load balancing simultaneously.
12. Bi-directional flow-coherency. Traffic from A-->B and B-->A goes to same node.
13. Order of magnitude OPEX savings : reduction in configuration, and ease of deployment
14. Order of magnitude CAPEX savings : Wiring, Power, Rackspace and Cost savings
15. The servers/appliances don’t have to be directly connected to N7k
16. Monitoring the health of servers/appliances.
17. N + M redundancy.
18. Automatic failure handling of servers/appliances.
19. VRF support, vPC support, VDC support
20. Supported on both Nexus 7000 and Nexus 7700 series.
21. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
22. N5k / N6k support : coming soon
