I use it. We had an IT person start a multi-hundred megabyte FTP download
and disrupted all of our site-to-site VPNs by grabbing all of the bandwidth.
I set a rule to guarantee encrypted traffic 1 Mbps and to limit FTP to 500
Kbps and the VPN stability improved noticeably. We never realized the issues
we had with the site-to-site VPN latency was due to bandwidth-stealing.
We've got a pair of T-1's.
We just installed the packages during the initial installation of the boxes
and began to use it. Be aware that it is not compatible with the "W" version
of R55.

We are currently looking into implementing floodgate at our border
firewalls to control bandwidth usage. I am looking for unbiased opinions
regarding the implementation, configuration and maintenance of floodgate
software. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
