They can do what they want, with the following caveats: They don't open more than 20 connections.
The overhead on the pipe allows, while being subject to packet delays if the thread is long duration, and the overhead IS needed. I think the key to network control is to NEVER let ANY user impact the pipe at the peril of others. Mike -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of D.

For the entire network. muhahahahahahah *cough* But seriously. I have a play nice policy. If someone is affecting other users, we call them and ask them to slow down thier up/downloads so they don't piss off thier neighbors. My wife called one of our customers to ask that they stop bittorenting so much. The dad said that no-one was torrenting in the house... Further investigation showed it was the 13year old son downloading movies etc. He was grounded for the rest of his life... Turns out dad was the group program manager for Microsoft's DRM group!
