Hi,

We are starting a project looking at the real-time delivery of interactive multimedia documents over a range of bandwidths.  We are going to be building a prototype that is two workstations connected by their own Ethernet.  In order to control the effective bandwidth, we are planning on atually implementing the network as 2 networks with a workstation in the middle.  This workstation in the middle would take packets from 1 workstation and forward to the other ensuring that the specified bandwidth was not e









xceeded.

Has anyone ever fooled with this kind of thing?  Anyone know of software available?  This just seems like the kind of thing that others may have fooled with so I though I'd ask.  Any help appreciated.

Oh -- please reply to me via e-mail (jxr@thumper.bellcore.com) as I don't normally read this newsgroup.
