Bluecoats Packeteer is a long established world renowned traffic management technology.

Packeteer may be deployed as Packetseeker which is used for discovery and reporting and Packetshaper which actively manages the traffic flows in addition to reporting. Both incarnations have protocol, port and traffic class discovery and can focus on IP addresses or ranges IP subnets or MAC addresses.

Inbound and outbound traffic can be managed separately with policies of partition, priority, discard, ignore and do not admit available with burst options allowing policies to be dynamic and guarantee no waste of bandwidth.
