Would you put a bandwidth cap on ResNet if there was another rush of file-sharing or something similar?
It is possible, but very unlikely that CIT would reinstitute any sort of bandwidth cap on ResNet. CIT does have available a traffic-shaping/packet-shaping solution, which could be used in the event that bandwidth usage began seriously affecting network performance. If there were sudden bandwidth issues due to file-sharing or some new Internet application/function, CIT could also implement controls specific to the application or protocol. Instead of taking action affecting a specific segment of the community, such as ResNet, action can be taken against the specific applications or protocols (regardless of where within the university they are located).
