Hmm, We use CAR for customer traffic management and it works very
well, infact of all the stuff we tested CAR worked the best. We
also looked at Packetshaper and Xedia. For high bandwidth, well
oversubscribed customers [e.g. they buy 2M when they really need 10M],
with large numbers of flows (such as free ISPs), CAR was the only
thing that worked. [on 11.1CC branch].
