Hi Darryl,
I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed that they focused only on
HTTP for bandwidth prioritization. But I realize that dev time is not
unlimited and that nothing's impossible for the guy who doesn't have to
do it :))

        Thanks Jim. The article hints of some nice new features. I would
like them to go further with some other features.

        Bandwith management of SMTP, RDP, ICA, FTP, PRINTING, Windows
UPDATE and BITS ... For that matter control over any traffic to/from any
destination. Perhaps incorporation of some bandwidth shaping tools into
ISA, with some common predefined templates.

         

        I have observed on my networks that SMTP storms either from
users or the internet cause degradation of service. More recently,  BITS
on the WSUS server caused chaos by taking almost all Internet bandwidth.
I have since disabled the WSUS server pending an investigation of what
went astray. I suppose this highlights the need for the ISA server to
have the capability to manage/enforce connectivity rules for the
companies communication needs. When the WSUS server went berserk  last
week Internet/intranet ecommerce to the CITRIX/RDP servers was damaged.
No other solution other than shutting down BITS on that server was
available. Likewise, limiting the size of emails and scheduling
transmission times is not a real solution.

         

        Thanks

        I understand that BITS is supposed to regulate its network
bandwidth .... .  Does ISA 2k and 2004 have any special tools to help
this bandwidth hog.

         

        Thanks in advance for any assistance
