MessageYou be the judge. I just recieved this email from Jeff Schwab, =
Assistant Director of PDN. I think this is the first official response =
ever from ResNet that explains the bandwidth cap limits. I like the way =
he explains that we have more bandwidth than IU (should we tell him =
about other Universities?) for ResNet. The worst part about this =
bandwidth capping policy is the way it is not published or publicized in =
any way.
Jeff is also exploring the possibility of an Open Forum between ResNet =
representatives and ResNet users. If you would be interesting in an =
Open Forum, please e-mail me and I will be compiling a list of people =
who will be interested. If PLUG as an organization is interested, I'd =
like one of the officers to contact me. Also, if anyone here can help =
spread the word, the more support we get, the better the chances of =
getting heard. Bandwidth capping/shaping seems to be a valid topic and =
this seems like a chance to get involved in a real world scenario where =
applying rules to bandwidth is important to both administrators and =
users.

The cap applies to all users, on and off campus. It applies to =
anyone who transfers over 100MB a day. After that
point the connection is throttled until the 24 hour rolling total =
drops below 100MB. We added 50% more capacity
over the summer. We now have 50% more capacity than IU has for its =
resnet. We are continuing to work on ways to fairly share this among =
all users.

I have been waiting for a response to this for two weeks. I sent a =
copy to the ResNet email resnet@purdue.edu on Tuesday, 18 September =
2001. I waited approximately one week and did not get a response. I =
then elevateed my request to Ken Rice rice@purdue.edu, a known staff =
member and contact for ResNet, on Tuesday, 25 September 2001. I have =
not had a response from either as of yet. I would like to get a prompt =
response to this. Please email me with a timeframe when you can get =
this information and forward it to me. If I do not hear from you within =
a week, I will elevate my inquiry further. Thank you.

I've been noticing increasingly slower transfer speeds on my ResNet =
DSL
connection. It seems the only times I can even get anywhere near a=20
decent speed are between the hours of 3am and 7am. I'm aware of the=20
problem that there are too many users and not enough bandwidth to go
around, but I've alo noticed that On-Campus ResNet users tend to have
better connection speed until they reach the mysterious bandwidth cap.
I'd like to know more about this Bandwidth Cap, how it works, and who =
it
applies to. =20
Also, I'd like to know if there are any other plans to help alleviate =
some of=20
this bandwidth congestion.
A prompt response to these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Naval
