Re: linux with nonstop's system works



Hi.

There is a company calls NetRiality who has a product that can control the
bandwidth limit of WAN interfaces.
If i were the cable company then i could limit traffic by IP address and
give each one 0.5 MB guarantee,
However, i donoo how much capacity their backbone to the clients has. It's
sound nice to have a guarantee of 0.5 MB but if the whole line is 10 MB then
no more then 20 users on the same time can use it.

I think that only the future can tell us if this internet connection can
really work.

Mike
