I face a lot of it on our public wireless network, and it often results in incomplete TCP sessions that manifest themselves as half-downloaded pages, etc.

Until now, I’ve been using IPTables and a script or two stolen from LARTC to handle traffic shaping and other related tasks on our public wireless network. I discussed things with a few friends, and decided that IPCop made a lot of sense. Redundancy is will soon be an option in Vanuatu, and being able to fail over gracefully was a big part of the discussion.

IPCop gets you a bunch of useful things, and underneath it you have a proper Linux-based OS, so in effect, you get to tick a third box: IPCop and Linux (though not CentOS per se).
