Hi,

We have a head office and 80 branch offices. On the head office we
implemented a terminalserver loadbalancing farm.
We also implemented packeteer which manages bandwith on the branch offices.

Problem is the following: If users browse on the internet we see the
bandwith of the branch location rise sky high and at that moment working on
the location is very slow.
Is there some hardware appliance or software to manage this internet traffic
for the locations?

Thx,.

Ramon

Hi - wrong group? This is for Windows Terminal Services. Try posting in
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking.
 
Re: how to shape internet traffic?

If you can get QoS on the line between the branch office and the main office
you can limit the bandwith and garantee the amount of bandwith for the
traffic of terminal services sessions. (or give it the highest priority)

If you centralize internet access from the branch offices to the main
offices with an central proxy server like ISA Server you can control what
users can do en may see on the internet. Additionaly you can scan and
classify websites based on its content with products like SurfControl or
WebMarshal.

If you want to manage internet usage of users that reside on branch offices
you must centralize it.
One big pipe to the internet is much cheaper as for each branch office an
regular bandwidth.

Re: how to shape internet traffic?

Hi Piet,

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Users in the branch offices only can setup a
RDP connection. If they surf the internet It all happens via this RDP
session. Branch offices don't have a seperate internet connection. The
problem is that I can't classify HTTP traffic because it is part of the RDP
connection. The packeteer doesn't see HTTP traffic. Only RDP traffic.
