Re: Rate

  That isn't possible unless its done from an application layer
that limits the download bandwidth used. Unless something has
changed, I don't know of any router which can tier bandwidth
based on what port a packet is using. Bandwidth can be tiered
per connection and/or network so that users on a certain network
are capped as a whole. Even so, I don't know if a LRP router can
do any of that.

 Sorry Jeroen, about the best you can do is crack heads on downloaders
if they are hogging your bandwidth. Otherwise the only other possible
scenerio would be to setup a network design where each workstation
had its own router, and that router had a frame-relay pvc connection
back to a gateway router. With that, you could limit the "overall"
bandwidth per machine so that you allow enough to surf, but not
enough to eat up the network's total bandwidth. Maybe allocate
10k per machine or some fraction of your total bandwidth. The down
side to that is amount of hardware you'll need to deploy. And I don't
know if an LRP router could run different protocols like FrameRelay
since the interface cards are ethernet. Frame-Relay over Ethernet,
I don't think its possible.

 Before I start thumbing through my CCNA book and typing up more
jibberish, the overall answer I believe is (No).
