I'm pretty fond of the the Packeteer gear. The API is pretty decent, I can get a pretty good range of stats off the box in flexible formats (tab or comma delimited, or in an XML format). Config-wise, I believe I can change just about anything on the box, including running commands remotely, and uploading/downloading files. The box's ability to sniff traffic for a few days and know what protocols are in use is pretty spiffy, from what I've seen. I've used the Peribit gear as well, but not as heavily and I don't know of an API (not saying one doesn't exist, I just don't know of it). It seems to be decent at what it does, but doesn't have as rich a featureset as the Packeteer. John On Tue, Sep 13, 2005 at 04:32:25PM -0700, Micah McNelly wrote:
Does anyone have any recommendations concerning hardware rate limiting solutions with extensive API's? I remember packeteer from back in the day and have been looking at some of their newer solutions that have XML API's. Comments? Alternatives? I would appreciate any feedback that can be provided.
