LARTC - Nov 2004 - Dynamic traffic shaping or ATM like classes

Is it possible to dynamically do bandwidh reservation?

That is, I want to limit the traffic to 50% for upload
and download, but if there aren''t onbound traffic, who
is doing a download will get 100% of bandwidh and if
there aren''t inbound traffic, who is doing a upload
will get 100%, but if there are both inbound and
outbount traffic, each one get limited to 50%.

I think this is similar to ATM classes _with a twist_.
I could put download ATM traffic in VBR(Variable Bit
Rate), and put upload in ABR (Available Bit Rate). If
there aren''t VBR traffic, ABR could use the full
bandwidth.

Thanks,

Tiago

So you want to shape for a half duplex link ?
