We had complaints from students about other students using the limited resource (in this case student computers) to do facebook / youtube.

We negotiated with the students union that certain sites would be blocked from those machines for a certain busy period during the day. Negotiation with the students union appeared to be hugely important in deflating any protests.

resources) are doing today to control or moderate bandwidth, e.g., where
viewing video sites uses up excessive amounts of bandwidth?

Thanks for any help,
