[c-nsp] cap'ing each host/ip to bw limits

[Adam Greene]

We've been using Allot NetEnforcer for years, but have decided to build our 
own *nix solution because the hardware and support contract costs are just 
too high with Allot.

The Allot is a great product, in my opinion. Just can't afford it!

Someone mentioned the Ellacoya product line ... I expect these are also 
pretty expensive ... I wonder if anyone could tell us what ballpark pricing 
is for the e30 unit ....

Thanks,
Adam
