Merry Christmas to all at SCFN! :)
ok SonicWall has lots of features that maybe useful in some cases -
antivirus, blacklisting by website, etc.
but for bandwidth prioritizing - the need of our office here- m0n0 and
pfSense win.
SonicWall can only manage bandwidth on outgoing traffic only - see
http://help.mysonicwall.com/sw/eng/general/ui1/6600/Advanced/Bandwidth_Management.htm
while both m0n0 and pfSense are free and can control bandwidth both
inbound and outbound.
with m0n0 its easy - plug the VIPs into a ethernet card that is
assigned a bigger pipe both in and out.
