I'm working in the IT department of a small liberal arts university-- we're getting *massacred* by P2P traffic.
Informal testing/probing indicates that about 60% of our traffic from the dorms was P2P-- we've taken the initial step of hardlimiting the dorms to no more than 40% of outgoing university bandwidth. Also, we've blocked the 'standard' ports for KaZaa, Gnutella, etc. in our firewall/switch setup (Cisco Catalyst 6500 between us and the net at large)....
However, the Powers That Be want a better, more effective solution--- without a performance hit for the VOIP phones on campus.
Any suggestions on what part of the FM I should be reading/etc, so that I can make a better informed decision about how to proceed?
Regards,
Bill Blum
