I am looking for something to provide bandwidth management for our 15 sites connected to our head office. All satelaite sites are 1.5/256DSL and the head office is 5mb/5mb. The only application runnning on our network that is of business importance and suceptable to latency is Terminal Server Client (RDP3389). I have been using a trial packeteer with great success, but to purchase a Packet Shaper appliance with a licence to support 10mb pipe is prohibative.
Have you heard of Net Equalizer product?

Are there other products that can give me QoS without the high start up and maintenance costs?
What can you suggest to give QoS (compression not required) of 3389 traffic class? Will Cisco router QoS work – I thought you could only deddicate kb per session and it is not dynamic?
Thank you, James.
