style='font-size:12.0pt'> Its actually not all that different
than what the libraries would be running into with a swamped receive
utilization from patron traffic. Even though you're looking to do a primarily
transmit operation, the devices still talk back and forth, so if your receive
utilization is maxed, the response from the server on the other end gets
delayed, which slows the whole operation. <br>
<br>
The main thing we're doing with QoS at our core isn't
targeted at doing things like limiting MySpace traffic to only 50% of the line,
its making sure that when someone does something like requests a page from your
web server, the small request gets through quickly so the server can send out
its large response on the underutilized transmit bandwidth.<br>
<br>
Also, in response to Travis's anecdote, I'd like to remind
everyone that in the coming cold winter months, please try and always have at
least a small amount of traffic on your connections to prevent the lines from
freezing.<br>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>In my previous incarnation we ran into a similar issue
but in reverse. We had more data coming IN than our T-1 cared for.
It was slowing down important out-bound traffic such as payroll (accounting
servers were located in some remote portion of <st1:place w:st="on">Borneo</st1:place>
I think). We implemented a band-aid solution at the time. We
purchased a router capable of using 2 T-1 lines and "balanced" some
of our load over them. Basically we reserved T-1a for sales and
accounting traffic and T-1b for "web" traffic. We did use a few
cable modems for certain applications. The place a cable modem was a good
idea (and proved reliable) was for incoming traffic. Since most home
broadband configurations are heavy on download "speeds" and minimal
in the upload department, cable modems were ideal for traffic cams and such.<br>
<br>
The ultimate solution came when Buckeye TeleSystems started offering
Metropolitan Ethernet. Then, we hooked up a big ol' 10MB Ethernet
connection. The cable modems are still in place for the most part,
because they seem to be doing the job that they were asked to do.<br>
