[c-nsp] quest for a CPE basic rate-limiting switch

[Christopher Hunt]

    I'm looking for an affordable switch that will do basic
rate-limiting/policing.  I've been half-heartedly searching for
a solution for over a year.  My boss settled on the Linksys SRW2008 :-\, 
but
those brick constantly and can't be depended upon for anything.

    Basically, I have a vendor who supplies a 10/100 L2 FTTH network.
Let's say I bring on customerA who has 3 sites on the FTTH network. We
purchase a vlan plus a port for each location from the vendor.  I'd like
to install a CPE switch in each location that could ensure that the 
customer is only getting what they're paying for and not flooding my 
vendor's network (which they don't currently monitor or limit).  In some 
cases it's 1mbps, in others 3mbps or 10mbps, but I don't need to offer 
QoS or need anything more granular than +/-1mps.  The 3750s are out of 
my price range, refurbs are fine.  SSH is a plus but not necessary. 
Does anyone have any tips?

Desparately seeking switches,
