Dynamic Internet Bandwidth Allocation

["Miller,James R" <millerj () UAKRON EDU>]

We are looking at combining our residence hall network with the campus network. The current structure of using a 
separate ISP for the residence halls seems a little more expensive. Still using separate IP structure, but we are 
looking at scheduling the majority of our bandwidth for the main campus during normal classroom hours and then 
dynamically allocating a large portion of the bandwidth for the residence halls to have available after hours.. Without 
too much study so far, it appears that our Exinda traffic shaping appliance may be capable of achieving this with 
virtual circuits and scheduling. Is there anyone out there doing this currently, and if so would you mind sharing what 
equipment or software you are using to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Jim
