Enterasys and Procera

We are looking to replace our packetshaper, and Procera is leading the
bunch.
It supports a python (and json?) API for control. The reps and
resellers all talk about how it can be made to integrate.

Is anyone else out there using Procera, and have you done any
integration with it an the NAC?

Thanks,
-Dan

In 2008 I bought a PL7600 and upgraded to a PL7720 in 2012, logging to a
PL1200. I'm quite happy with the product and have recommended it to
several of my EDU colleagues.

I unfortunately can't speak to the API or NAC integration -- I don't have
NAC (yet) and haven't had time to tinker beyond that. I do recall seeing
example code from Procera however, and thinking it wouldn't be difficult.

Derek:

I am not familiar with these products. Are they Enterasys?

The Enterasys Netsight NMS suite has NAC built in. In addition, it now has an API built in.

See the web site:

Hope this helps.

We retired our shaper and purchased Palo Alto devices instead. While these aren't dedicated shapers, since PANOS 4.1 they have all the knobs and integrate with NAC.

To quote from the tech note (which you need a support contract to get).

PAN-OS uses Hierarchical Fair Service Curve (HFSC) algorithm for scheduling. The same algorithm is used in most Linux implementations and now in FreeBSD. In simple terms, HFSC provides ability to filter traffic to prioritized queues and limit the associated queue sizes.

This with inspection and other bits gives us what we need.

Hi Dan,

We use Procera at The University of New England and have done some cool things with it. We really, really like it. We run a pair in HA(?) and appreciate the simplicity of managing them and their ability.
