Hi,

I am looking for a solution to limit bandwidth per wireless clients. The scenarios are described below.

Have you heard of any product which can help me ?

Regards

Leopold

First situation
Hotspot consisting of both wired and wireless access to the internet.
People on the wireless are using up all the available bandwidth ,leaving nothing for the wired network.

Secons situation
This one has only wireless clients.
The situation here is there is 1 client who will use all the available bandwidth, leaving nothing for the rest of the clients.

My thoughts are:
For the First situation I am thinking of a switch device that I can set a x amount per KB in the port of the switch.
The Second situation will requiere that you can limit the bandwidth of the wireless clients in the ap itself.

A bandwidth control switch would work. A number of devices allow for management of the bandwidth coming to each port of the device.

Packeteer would be a recommended software solution.
