Does Cornell restrict how much bandwidth ResNet can use compared to the rest of the university?
No. Cornell does not currently segment, apportion, or otherwise restrict bandwidth for ResNet. There is no bandwidth which is specifically reserved for academic or administrative units, nor is there any cap placed on how much bandwidth ResNet can use. ResNet typically uses a majority of the university bandwidth. A few years ago, during the worst of the file-sharing bandwidth overload, CIT did place a temporary cap on how much bandwidth ResNet could use. This was only a temporary measure and was necessary at the time. ResNet bandwidth consumption due to file-sharing was completely shutting out academic and administrative units to the point where they had no network access. This was only a temporary measure while CIT pursued other answers to file-sharing bandwidth saturation, eventually implementing a traffic-shaping solution. The bandwidth cap on ResNet was removed in the Fall of 2002. There has not been any cap on ResNet’s bandwidth since that time (beyond the overall limits of the uni
