RE: [MLUG] Ethernet hubs

["McNutt, Justin M." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Do you mean "throttle all traffic" or "throttle broadcast/multicast"?

If you mean the former, there are several vendor's switches that do this,
but they are prohibitively expensive.

If you mean the latter, most switches have done this since about 1996, but
it's not as useful.

I haven't seen any hubs that offer either one, and they shouldn't, since
hubs are layer 1 devices.  10/100 "hubs" are switches, so they may be able
to offer throttling between the 10 and 100Mb segments.

While we're on the subject of ethernet hubs, does anyone know of a
hub/switch that will allow individual ports to be throttled?
