Cheapest switch that can limit bandwith speed by interface?

Hello!

Do you guys know what the cheapest switch is that can limit bandwith speed by interface?

Thank you!

  • Yes, between multiple VPN providers.

    Looks like its kinda hard to complete if we dont buy a pfSense router that is little to advanced for me.

    Thank you.

    Hi swealpha 

     

    Welcome to Netgear Community, beside unmanged switch, all others support the rate limit by interface.

     

    Thanks

      Sorry for not being more clear.

      I mean if its possible to rate limit upload and download.  I see some switches only limit the upload speed.

      Thank you!!

        Limiting egress is one thing rather easy, but having massive consequences. But how would you implement an ingress bandwidth limitation - which would be at the end of the day just ignore and drop packets or what? Of course, there are technologies like pause frames, flow control, and back pressure.

         

        Then think again why the IEEE has abandoned any plans on a standardisation of a granular flow limitation IEEE P802.3ar Congestion Management Task Force some decade(s) ago.

         

        An Ethernet infrastructure does poorly compare with a hydraulic system.

        What exactly - and why - do you want to achieve?
