I have a single 100mb leased line that will be shared by three unrelated companies.

We are looking to buy a cisco ASA 5512-X and I need to use policing to ensure that each company receives 1/3 of the bandwidth. So I can set three vlans but can I do policing across/between the three vlans.

As an alternative would it be possible to configure the ASA so that I can assign a public IP address to each of the internal interfaces while still policing traffic between them. The companies would them be able to attach a router to there own assigned lan port.

Possibly the easiest way to set this up would be to set the ASA to transparent mode with policing per IP. The ASA would use one of the public IPs, but you'd need a /29 anyway.

This gives each of the 3 tenants 33.3Mbps with a small burst. The ASA uses 1.2.3.4 for managment access, and 1.2.3.5 is the ISP's gateway in this example. This does not use vLANs, but they're not necessary anyway. If you did want to use them then you'd have to have separate subnets for each tenant, and would have to operate in routed mode instead of transparent.

I have not tried copying any pasting this code into a default configuration. I believe it's close, but not all that's necessary.
