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 :)) Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder <http://www.isaserver.org/shinder> Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 <http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7> MVP -- ISA Firewalls ________________________________ From: Darryl Janetzki [mailto:darrylj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 6:10 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: OT WSUS and BITS http://www.ISAserver.org 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.

Does ISA 2k and 2004 have any special tools to help this bandwidth hog.
