We are using the basic Verizon router but it sucks so we're looking for a new one that allows us to limit users and our hadoop cluster to certain limits. Our problem is one person can start downloading something and kill the network and every hour we download logs into our cluster but it floods the network unless we rate limit it. Ideally we want to be able to say:

  • total: 35 mbps Hadoop Cluster (15
  • mbps) Phones (1 mbps) Office(25
  • people) (19mbps but no one machine can have more than 5mbps)
