"But starting last month (January 2002) the bandwidth used by the rest of
campus increased in an unexpected and unexplained way"
Interesting. The Berkeley sys people don't know where the extra bandwidth is
being used?
I'd still bet it's spam (see next). Last month I recorded a 300%+ increase
in the amount of spam I get.
"When your SETI@home screensaver downloads a work unit, the data flows from
a server in our laboratory, through the University of California at Berkeley
campus network, and through a connection to the commercial Internet. This
connection is shared by all UCB Internet users - departmental web and FTP
sites, email, SETI@home, and so on. The University pays for bandwidth on
this connection; it is currently buying 70 megabits per second (Mbps). The
student residence hall have a separate 40 Mbps connection."
Kinda lets out gaming, don't it? "Departmental web and ftp sites,
email".....email. Hmm.....
I'd be VERY curious to know where the b/w is being used. I should think it'd
be fairly easy
to find out simply by parsing the logs and seeing where the number of
connections has
increased substantially.
