Back in the day, we use the ET (Emerging Technologies) 
bandwidth managers - www.etinc.com.

The support sucks (as in, the 
developer/maintainer/owner/sales/support guy has no patience 
for customers that don't RTFM), but it's a great product in 
linear networks.

That was ages ago for us. We have tended to prefer in-line 
bandwidth management since routers handle the decently more 
often than not. 

However, it is feasible that in certain conditions, e.g., 
broadband subscriber management, this kind of middleware may 
have a place.
