Network bandwidth Limitaions

I am Having 11 Mbps Internet from my service provider. I need to divide that to two different network in 60:40 Ratio. I am having a Cisco 3550 Switch for this. Is it possible to do the same configuration? and how?

Maybe.

For ingress, you can define a policy that defines two classes and polices your traffic at your 3:2 ratio.  Depending on your traffic, this may, or may not, provide the results you want.

I don't believe a 3550 supports any kind of shaping, so holding your traffic to 11 Mbps, is a problem.

If you're willing to run the interface at 10 Mbps, you can . . .

Use the interface command wrr-queue bandwidth, which allows you to define bandwidth ratios for your 4 egress queues.

PIck two of your four queues, map traffic to them, and assign them the 3:2 ratio you want.
