>BYU has 3 connections. The ELI and XO connections are OC3 (155 Mb/s). >Not sure what the third one is. I believe that we have an internet2 >connection through ELI, but I don't remember.
AT&T is the church's provider now that you mention it. I remember because on my first day of training my director told us that AT&T has promised if the connection ever dies they will pay the church an insane amount for every minute that is down. Somewhere in the $50,000 range. Needless to say I have never seen it go down unscheduled and only once scheduled. >From what I hear from OIT, our connection to ELI and our connection to >XO are saturated all the time. I don't know who told you that. But as an employee of OIT I have seen the traffic graphs and they are not saturated all the time. One connection gets used pretty heavily 100-150 Mbits/s in and out during the day and the other sees about 2 Kbits/s of outbound traffic (uploading)...far from saturated. At night, we idle about 25-30 Mbits/s and the other is completely unused. This data is taken from 9/7/05. >All three connections are used simultaneously; there is no failover. Again, I think maybe you have old data. >I'm pretty sure that if OIT knew about c3po running a tor node they >would not be very happy.

I can't speak for OIT on this one, but we have never really raised the issue seeing as 3% isn't that much for a server that's hosted by a department. BYU's windows media server runs about 15% of the bandwidth and that's usually dwarfing the rest of the servers on campus. Especially the fact that c3po is constantly on our list of bandwidth users, we tend not to raise eyebrows. If it were to skyrocket tomorrow then you would probably start getting calls on it.
