Looking for an advanced router for traffic monitoring and limiting

azmandius · ‎10-23-2008

Hello,

Cisco is offering a huge choice of routers and since i am no professional in the field i would need a bit help on selection the right product.

I am looking for an advanced router with about 8 ports, mainly for profound Internet traffic control, shaping and monitoring inside cafe where i want to offer visitors free wireless Internet connection.

Basically I want to avoid the hassle of installing that Linux server.

I'd be grateful for some suggestions on a good model.

These are some specifications that i would need:

Traffic speed limiter and monitoring per machine IP

Download/upload amount limiter and monitoring per machine IP

Possibility to distinguish between local and Internet traffic

Thank a lot.

It's not so clear for me what are you doing.

Please can provide more information about the exact solution (the result) that you want ? not technical, but the services you want.

Regards,

Omar
