We have the requirement to guarantee bandwith to one of our clients.
We have a large collection of vlans and we either need to guarantee bandwith to a set and from a set of IP's or a vlan.
We currently throttle using rate-limit but wan't to dedicate 2mb of our 10mb leased line to 1 client.
We are using a cisco 3600 running IOS 12.0.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how we can go about this?
I am on a tight budget for a Cisco firewall. I am browsing and seeing some affordable options in the x600 series.
Please tell me, which series is best?:
1600
2600
3600
The higher the better?..
Also what about submodels, like is 1650 better than 1600?
And how can I tell how much DRAM each one can take up to?
I have confused in these notions a little bit - Guaranteed RAM and Burstable RAM. What is the difference between them? I have found that in the VPS hosting from ServerPoint.com.

My intention is to have the following setup, each line is per provider:
--> BSD Router --> Switch --> Bridge Firewall --> Switch --> ...
'''''''''|'''''''''''|''''''''''''''|'''''''''''''''|
--> BSD Router --> Switch --> Bridge Firewall --> Switch --> ...
'''''''''|'''''''''''|''''''''''''''|'''''''''''''''|
--> BSD Router --> Switch --> Bridge Firewall --> Switch --> ...
The idea would be that I could lose any 15A circuit, switch, firewall or service provider and still remain up. Full routes for the routers. Spanning tree on all the switches.
We have the OpenBSD routers up and running in our lab, I'd say they are 90% ready, but we're having internal routing issues when it comes time to fail-over. I know we'd have an easier time if we used just one router with a NIC per provider, but I was hoping for more redundancy.
I do not know if this is the right forum to post on, or if this is even the right site since this is not technically "Web Hosting" related, however it is the largest technical community I know of.
I have been setting up small networks in various branches of a medical company. I am using a linksys wired router connected to a static IP through a SDSL modem. The DHCP is disabled, and the two computers and the print server have also been assigned static IPs.
The problem I am having is that the linksys router will work fine, and then go offline.
The linksys router will no longer be pingable internally. Unplugging the router from the power briefly then plugging it back in resolves the problem temporarily. Sometimes it will become unresponsive again within 30 seconds to a minute, however other times it will go days without this problem occuring.
I thought it might be a defective router, however I took it back and got a replacement, however this is continuing to occur, so it must be something else. The two computers are Windows XP with static IPs set to 10.88.102.xxx as well as the print server. and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The gateway has the IP 10.88.102.1. The mask is set as the same on the router side. The DNS server IPs are the ones given by the ISP and are defined in both the client TCP properties and on the router.
I figured since the network was so small, it would make sense to just buy a cheap linksys router, however the response I got from someone at experts-exchange says that this is just the MO of the crappy residential end of linksys. This surprises me since linksys is a division of cisco.
I was wondering if this is an unmetered plan or if it is just the connection for the bandwidth someone is offering.
For example, if a company is offering 4000gb of bandwidth, but I upgrade to 20MBPS HIGH-USAGE (DEDICATED/GUARANTEED), is this just the connection for the 4000gb or is this a dedicated "unmetered" plan.
let's say the package was 512mb ram guaranteed and burstable, how would I check if I was given the correct guaranteed RAM?
i have this 2 vps with the ff 1GB/2GB burst and 512mb/2gb burst
I'm asking because in HyperVM, I can see the max ram for the 2 packages as 2GB. how to check the guaranteed ram?
Also both of these are quad core but the other is showing 2.7Ghz per cpu while the other it's 0.5GHz.
However..it's time to learn.
There is no doubt in my mind I'm going to Houston. The prices they have..it's unreal. Take a look:

And that's just one. The real fun starts when they start beating each other's quotes.
Ok..on to what need here:
If I have a cage at Level 3..is there a way to estimate routing/switching needs on a per-rack basis? In other words..can you estimate: Ok 1 full rack...say...30 servers..and you're bringing in one of those 100mbps eth drops...to start.
and you want capacity for..say..three more racks from the getgo.
Is there software for this? Or can you guesstimate on ip use-how many ips you think you'll need routing for?
I currently have the SilverVS package from RoseHosting: [url]
With this specification, I also have DirectAdmin running and my website is www.christianforumsite.com (A forum)
So far, It's really good but there are some hourly lag times and two very very short downtimes in a few months time span. RH told me that my site had a high memory usage and that I might have to upgrade it.
So my questions are:
1. Could forums take a lot of memory and force the OS to kill some processes. In my case the forum is active but it not like huge community. Traffic report on alexa: [url]
It appears on top if you search for christian forum or christian forums, so the bots might be doing some damage too. Also I am using DirectAdmin with the lowest plan.
2. Could upgrading to the next VPS plan make the site noticeably faster and eliminate the lag times I've been experiencing?
3. What specifically (RAM guaranteed/burstable, discspace) should be high in case of a growing forum. Any other recommendation?
I have noticed that most "reputable" VPS providers state both guaranteed and burst amount of RAM. However there also seems like plenty that only advertise burstable (looks better in the ad, I know) no matter how closely I look over the details.
For a Virtuozzo based VPS, is the guaranteed amount of ram something that must be specified? Or can it be configured for some sort of free for all burstable only accounts?
What I am wondering is if there is any good reason why a host would NOT tell me how much guaranteed RAM I would get?
I have a lot of dedicated IP accounts that I want Exim to send mail from (in other words, not to use the shared/primary IP of the server).
Has anyone successfully configured cPanel/Exim to do such a thing, such as this:

I have a server with several sites hosted on it. Randomly, a site user will find that they can no longer connect to any of the sites on the server - but they can connect to the rest of the Internet. When this happens, the sites themselves are fine and everyone else can connect without any problems.
The only way the affected user can view sites on the server again is to reboot their router - at which point everything is fine.
why this would happen? I have a CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise) Linux server with DirectAdmin, Apache, PHP/MySQL - the usual. I'm thinking that there must be some kind of network setting which is allowing this to happen, but I can't for the life of me work out what it is.
My roommate ran into this problem a few weeks ago. He could not connect to a webserver. Turns out it is the way that some of the ports are being handled when passive FTP is used.
I was wondering if a lot of web hosting companies are seeing some complaints of (passive) FTP not working properly? And who are you blaming?
He had to install some firmware updates to the Linksys router as well but then that started to crash the Internet connection (something we cannot have). So the router update was uninstalled.
He had to do quite a bit and finally started to use the control panel to upload. He has not tried FileZilla yet but I tried it on my system to connect to his server and it failed.
In 3 weeks I'm launching a service that will stream about 5TB of music per day.
I currently use Rackspace Mosso cloud, which can get quite expensive for such massive traffic.
After a talk with my dev team, they told me that the 100mbps dedicated unmetered that some providers like ThePlanet or Rackspace advertise might not guarantee the speed until the end-user. That the speed is guaranteed until just outside their hosting facility or backbone and after that it's just pooled bandwith.
My host has helped me to install a switch. However, I don't know how to configure using the command line. Could anyone help me?

I am not sure if this is a dumb question or not but here it is anyway,
if there is a website and some of the images are hosted on a third party site (ie. photobucket), does the bandwith for those loaded from the third party site count as the sites hosting bandwith?
In my opinion I do not believe it does because it is making a call to the image on the other hosting server, but a friend of mine who manages a forum said that once the users started using more animated signatures that the site bandwith went up by almost 40%, but all signatures are hosted on other sites.
i launched my site 1 month ago on host gators shared hosting plan and grew very quickly, and now am going to pass the 2 TB limit any hour / day so im freaking out. I dont know what to do i need to find a hosting company that offers a lot of bandwith and moderate HD space i need somehwere around 4 TB a month bandwith and 100 GIG HD my budget is from 100 -150 dollars a month.
Also i was approached by someone offering colocation services to host my files on their services is this good as well i have no idea? my site is a music sharing website where people upload and listen to music.
dedicated host provider [url] and trying to determine the options from them in regards to bandwith. If I decide to go with them I will be using them to host a youtube clone site
has any body had experience with them?
Here is their deal
Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Ram
250 GB SATA300 Drive
Unmetered Bandwidth
I'm planning to ugrade the ram to 4gb at 300.00 one time extra.
They claim Free 24 hr On-Site Support so I called them up last night at 3:30am their time and did get a technition on the line.
They also refer to themselves as being "fully managed" and describe in detail what that means in their faq.
Their BW is unmetered and unshared
10mbps = 3,285 gigs/mo
or
4mbps 1,314 gigs/month burstable to 100 mbps
going over this limit the charge is 49.00 for each 328.5 gigs
So because I'm a start up and have no idea what will be required in terms of BW. here is the question
If I had a limit on uploads of 200 mb and the average size of the videos being downloaded were 20 mb how many people could be online at the same time?
I'm not even sure if that's the right way to look at it.
My site is on forumotion right now. I want to move it and have it hosted somewhere. It is a local Mustang club. I have read all the problems with the oversold sites. I have also looked at others. The big issue is i dont rally know how much space I need. This is the site southshorestangs.com. What it will have is that forum and probably a few webpages. It is still only a month old so it will keep growing hopefully. i just dont want to get way more than I will need.
View 14 Replies View Relatedi see that there is 84/month and a 119/month VPS, which offer burstable 100mbps unmetered...i also heard they use shared line.
so what is the max bandwith that i can really push in a month ? i am okay with users loading the site @ 100kb/s, especially because the site has lot of videos through flash player, and 100kb/s or even 50kb/s sounds good.

In 4 hours I got reply saying that everything is fine and server is just experiencing high bandwith. I was able to login to control panel (which is available through different IP address, and I have noticed that my usual 8 gigs a day bandwidth increased to 160 a day for yesterday. I cannot SSH to my server. I cannot access my website via http. I cannot FTP to my server. I cannot do anything. I have submitted another ticket and waiting fro reply.
Any suggestions? Is this an attack? (I feel it is, but not sure) What kind of attack can bring server down, if I have CISCO firewall installed? I am little upset with godaddy, because so far, my server has been down for over a day. Any providers out there, who are more rapid in terms of helping their customers? FYI: I pay them $150 a month.
Can I determin spesific bandwith for each folder by any tools or scripts.
