Hi,
Is there any one with an idea of an open source packeteer or bandwidth
management solution like Allot NetEnforcer Bandwidth Management Appliance.
Which can do proxy services and also allocate bandwidth to certain websites
and staff, prevent them from viewing certain websites
We currently have Microsoft TMG 2010 with GFI Web monitor 2009 installed on
it, we are looking for a solution possible from open source.Which can
replace it.
I actually want it as a proxy server and use it to shape, allocate and
restrict access to certain websites of our staff.

I am fairly sure Squid has the concept of bandwidth pools which you can apply via ACLs within the squid conf.
That may meet your proxy requirements but would not help with traffic not being proxied.
Squid will also allow you to define access to the inet based on ACLs which can use various things to determine which policy will be applied to the connection. eg, client src IP, client username, time of day, regx…
you may find it here:

www.etinc.com. Built out of open source but you pay for a license fee but
not as steep as for an Allot unit. you can get the hardware or download the
software and pay for a key. Has the same functionalities that you are
looking for as an Allot box. I happen to have used both and I liked the
ETINC product. Stable and relaible.

pfSense has everything: proxy (squid), firewall, bw-management,
captive portal and a very nice web interface for management:

The only thing it doesn't have is IPv6 support (yet).

I was a huge fan of pfSense and I really enjoyed the interface, packaging and integration. The lack of IPv6 caused the end of that relationship.
Indeed, I used the above instructions to setup IPv6 on my home pfSense
box, with the upstream being a HurricaneElectric v6v4 tunnel. It
worked very well - though it only worked with RA, there's obviously no
dhcp6 implementation installed/supported.
