Rate Limiting and Bit Counting

I'm looking to evaluate some solutions for Rate limiting and bit counting /
metering. I am not really interested in Filtering packets by application or
protocol, just delivering bandwidth at a defined service level based on
endpoint IP. I would also like to have the option to track how much data is
transferred per endpoint for potential metering.

I already use a smaller sandvine at another location and we are satisfied
with it but this would be a bigger project so I am looking for alternatives.

Does anyone have any experience with hardware like this they could
recommend?

Thanks,
:Luke

I have some not-very-recent experience with Cisco's "Service Control Engine". A quick check reveals that there is still a product with this name, and it sounds like it does similar things to the one I remember.

It may well be overkill (and too expensive) for what you want, but I guess it goes on the list.
