I've got a remote site connected to the central site for Internet
access via 2 T1s to an ATM network. Voice has been allocated 800k of
this bandwidth, and the rest is data. Network usage at this particular
site has been growing within the past couple of months and at times
bandwidth has been maxed out. I need some way to make sure bandwidth
is allocated fairly. I'd like to be able to add more capacity, but
that's not going to be possible right now.

One of the first things I thought of was unicast storm-control. If I
went this route, I'm not sure what parameters to use. Right now, some
ports are set to an upper limit of 5%, and some are set to 5k pps (the
default value, I believe). This was all set up before I started here,
and I've never really given it much though until this project came
along. It looks like the upstream connection for that site rarely gets
over 450 pps to the central site.

Questions:
- Is unicast storm-control a good option here, or should I look at
others?
- If I do use it, can someone point me to where I can find some help
on the best settings to use in this particular environment?
