Do you want it to DYNAMICALLY monitor and shape/accelerate as needed? &nbsp;If so, I would think it's going to be a lot more than 4000GBP.

I agree with CPTNS. &nbsp;The Packeteer is a great tool/box.

Just another quick one.........if you are running Cisco gear, you can use NetFlow Monitor to have a look at the WAN traffic...........<br />

<br />
It comes in at about £4500 GBP.........but the informatiojn you get is invaluable.......

Hi Folks,<br />
<br />
Easy one for 500 points! (if you know about these things...)<br />
<br />
I am required to buy a hardware appliance that will monitor traffic over a WAN link and if possible provide some shaping or acceleration abilities.<br />
<br />
It needs to be portable so can be deployed on any of our links and should cost no more that £4000GBP.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any recommendation? Packeteer looks pretty good. Has anyone any experience with this or any other similar.<br />
<br />
I look forward to your replies.<br />
<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
