I have older switch hardware, 2948xl's and 3548xl's, so I think I already know the answer to this question but I'm gonna throw it out there to the experts to get a definitive answer and/or recommendation.
I have 9 remote locations that access applications at a central site thru site-to-site vpn's. The remote locations sometimes download files, programs, etc from file shares at the central site and bog down the performance of applications accessed thru the vpn.
I seek a way to limit the bandwidth used for such transfers either on the switches at the remotes or on the ports at the central site that house the file share devices.
I am getting ready to upgrade some switches at the central site for VOIP so I can probably buy a gently used refurbed switch that might have a feature that would do the trick. I just don't know if such a trick exists and what it's called.
