We have customers connecting directly to our facilities via fiber optic cabling (provider by the local municipality). &nbsp;In our facility we have access to a relatively unlimited amount of bandwidth and we would like to resell portions of this bandwidth to our customers, similar to an ISP.<br />
<br />
Can anyone suggest what type and brand of equipment that we should use to both route the clients to the internet and at the same time control their bandwidth (i.e. give one client 5Mb and another client 10Mb) ?<br />
<br />
I am sure that there has to be plenty of equipment on the market to do this, we just need someone to help point us in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Need Advice for Selecting Service Provider level Router/Switch for Managing Client Internet Access (ISP)

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
