My friend's company which is ISP going for upgrade of their shaping devices which is currently an ISR router. They have hundred of clients mostly are leased lines and wireless. I suggested a metro ethernet switch but they want it to be centralized in the core. Any suggestion what appliance will they use?

1. UTM firewall can do that e.g., fortigate
-Traffic shapping is included in the bundle of the firewall
2. Bluecoat packetshaper
-Full blown packetshaper
3. Bluecoat ProxySG
-much like UTM firewall with traffic shapping
Don't forget to rate/mark as correct :)

You can try packet-shapers, NGFWs, and even just a simple cisco router
Cisco router basic shaping:
#conf t
#access-list 1 permit 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255
#access-list 2 permit 10.10.20.0 0.0.0.255
#interface f0/0
#traffic-shape group 1 1024 -bps (1Mbps)
#traffic-shape group 2 1024 -bps (1Mbps)

Thanks..
They are using ISR routers using QoS policing and rate-limit input/output command. Now, thinking of replacing ISR with an ASR router. I only notice ASR do not accept rate-limit input/output command. Any idea of command similar to rate-limit input/output command on the vlan/interface.

Oh yeah, do note that rate limit is per interface, with shaping or policing, you can specific per subnet or IP range.

Hi,
Thank you for your replies. By the way, do you have any experience with specific packet shapers in the market? I cannot find cisco appliance with specific shaping purpose.
Thanks,

They buy bluecoat packetshaper but the software was corrupted just before the production deployment 'stuck in boot'.
Thanks for your reply.
