Bandwidth Management - Current Issues Roundtable

Abstract

This Current Issues roundtable session will focus on how colleges and universities manage their Internet bandwidth in today's environment of peer-to-peer applications, advanced network applications, and limited bandwidth availability. How are we monitoring and tracking the use of Internet bandwidth by constituent groups or by application? What tools and techniques do we use to measure, monitor, or allocate our Internet bandwidth? What usage policies or chargeback systems are we using to help shape the demand for bandwidth and ensure appropriate use of network resources? What emerging technologies and usage patterns do we see on the horizon that will further stress our networks and challenge today's bandwidth management practices? Come share questions, success stories, and challenges with our colleagues.
