Do you need something to monitor the bandwidth usage on one server? For instance if you have a hosted server that has limited total usage. Well if you want a simple free tool download NetMeter.
You can get real time statistics, totals including day, week and month. It will also project your usage over the […]
So this is a follow-up post to Latency Vs. Bandwidth where I gave a good link to an explanation on the differences between the problem of Latency and Bandwidth on the Internet. The same blogger had a follow-up post that explained a few ways for you to help improve high latencies.
This is another good article that […]
I ran across a pretty good read today that explains the problem with latency on WAN networks. The first part starts out saying that a lot of IT managers do not understand that just throughing more bandwidth at a problem won’t solve all your problems. This might be true of IT manager’s but all Network […]
It is really getting interesting on the bandwidth structures available to web based companies now. Amazon’s S3 service is lowering their prices even more than before, they were cheap at $0.20/GB transfer. It is getting to the point where even with a screaming deal on an unlmited transfer plan with a capped Mbps transfer you […]
There are pricing changes coming to Amazon’s S3 service. I know most of the time you think price change, oh no I guess they are going up. Not in this case.
Current bandwidth price (through May 31, 2007) $0.20 / GB - uploaded $0.20 / GB - downloaded New bandwidth price (effective June 1, 2007) $0.10 […]
I have started playing with Amazon S3 in the past day or so to see what they can do for the company I work for. We currently use a couple of CDN networks as well as our own network to distribute content.
I started looking into Amazon S3 as an ultra low cost file hosting network […]
Well it has been in the works for over 6 months but we finally got it done yesterday, we doubled our bandwidth. The last month has been nothing but red tape and waiting for our ISP to get off their butts to do their job. In mid December we signed a contract with our ISP […]
I have put a service-policy in place on my companies high speed WAN link to control how much bandwidth the backup servers can use. This is a time-range based policy so that at night the backups can use as much bandwidth as is available and during the day it can only use 40 Mbps.
Scrubed config
time-range […]
I retook a look at the settings that I in place before for shaping traffic going out a particular interface on our Cisco 7609. I wrote about is in a past post which can be viewed here. This policy was a hard policing of traffic from certain subnets going out on interface that was limited […]
Recently I had to put some rate limiting in place on our 7609 router. There are a couple of devices that have a tendency to hog our Internet bandwidth but have multiple IPs that live on many different VLANs. Since our Internet bandwidth is limited and is need for many different devices I couldn’t let […]
