Hi...is it possible to segment the bandwidth for a particular host so that a particular host should get the more bandwidth than others

Thanks,

Much depends on features of the network device(s) that the host is connected to. Also depends on whether you want to regulate bandwidth to and/or from the host and where you wish to provide such regulation.

hi...thanks for the reply.

the subnet to which host belongs, connected to a 7507 router and host at other end belongs to other subnet which is connected to 2811 Cisco router's interface.There is 2Mbps point-to-point connection between two routers.I would like to segment the 2Mbps bandwidth so that particular host in both subnets should get the more bandwidth than others.Say the following topology:

Subnet: 192.168.1.0/24,host 192.168.1.2,gateway(router) 192.168.0.1 <<-----2Mbps Connection--->>Subnet 192.168.2.0/24,host 192.168.2.2,gateway(router):192.168.2.1, there are also other hosts in both subnets.I want to segment the bandwidth so that host 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2 should get at least 128Kbps bandwidth , and others will get the remaining bandwidth..Is it possible to do , if yest then on which network device, either on router at both ends or hosts ate both end ???
