I'm not the network for my network. I do know that what we do is to limit the number of connections. Mike our admin has a script that runs, I'm assuming on a bsd box that probably handles nat, that closes some of those connections when a limit is reached. That is why on our network, if you have

That won't work because some of the P2P programs only are identifiable when they log on and once they are running it would look like normal traffic. One program like this is Ares. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O. Box 126 Bucyrus, OH 44820 419-562-6405 www.wavelinc.com -Original Message- Fro

I know it's been said already, but I didn't want to have a one-liner. They're not saying what you can and can't do, but to publicly say what you do as to not deceive your customers. It wasn't that Comcast shaped their traffic, but that they shaped and canceled account without saying what the p

Again, as I understand it I don't see this as any different than selling/offering one product, but delivering another. That is unethical and should be addressed. If you want to limit p2p traffic then fine, but it has to be disclosed as George has described earlier in this thread. Best, Brad

Kurt, You can always do what we have since 2003, BAN all P2P traffic on the network. It is listed right in the first paragraph in our TOS and each customer is told upfront about it. I have turned off radios and I have even pulled radios because of it. I guess the most important issue is telling
