Guy:
We have had good success with rate queueing on ATM adapters.
Rate queues do an effective job of shaping traffic. We have worked
extensively with cards from both Sun Microsystems (at 155 and
622 Mbps) and FORE Systems (same rates) throughout the past
five years operating on 13 different experiments and demonstrations.
Without rate queueing, especially at higher rates (above 45 Mbps),
TCP performance can be erratic. We have more experiments slated
in 1999 to study this effect more thoroughly.
