I think the request was clear on bandwidth management, which probably points at manipulation this is not monitoring. Depending on budget, pfsense is cheapest, mikrotik, most routers have a rate limiting function ..... If you have some money one can be custom made for you... Sent from my iPad

So you are telling me that Cacti and Solarwinds are/have applications that manage bandwidth?? All these years I thought those were only for monitoring bandwidth utilization and that management requires some hardware/software combo.
Rotich, you can use pfSense to manage bandwidth. You install it on a hardware with at least two NICs and place it strategically on your network so that all traffic is passed through it. You of course need to configure the management bit yourself. pfSense is Free. You can also buy a pfSense appliance if you don't need to install it yourself. Another option is one of the many Mikrotik routerboards available. You choose one that matches your needs and then configure it - or pay someone else to configure it for you.
I only gave you the cheaper options. I know some very expensive options but given that I don't know exactly what you have and what you'd like to achieve in the real sense, that is my 0.000000011 Bitcoins worth of contrib.
