Overview

The FireBrick 2700 has been used as a 'black' box traffic shaping device in shared offices. It's quite easy to configure a FireBrick for a 'serviced office' scenario where tenants pay for a slice of a fast pipe. The FireBrick can shape based on parameters such as source/target IP/port/protocol, giving flexibility. When shaping, CWL graphs are produces for each 'shaper', giving a visual representation of the traffic.

If a managed office already has network infrastructure then the FireBrick can work in a proxy-arp mode, and physically sit on your network between your router and your LAN.
