Hello -

We have a FW1-VPN1 Cluster XL, NG R55/SPLAT and are running BGP with two 12
MB ISP connections.  The servers have fast dual Xeons and 2MB RAM.  We are
considering doing a site-to-site VPN with a client as opposed to a dedicated
line.  The bandwidth requirements will be very high so we may increase each
of our our ISPs to a 45 MB because the price is just as good for a full T3
as it is for a frac T3 of 18 MB or more.

We are looking at some bandwidth management options to keep the VPN to this
client from grabbing all the bandwidth when a large file transfer kicks in.
I am looking at Packeteer, but would be interested in hearing input about
Floodgate from real-life users as opposed to just a sales pitch.


Thanks!

Pete Ramb
