Re: Do you block P2P ?

["Stanclift, Michael" <michael.stanclift () ROCKHURST EDU>]

We're doing a similar method. We've been blocking it at a protocol level for quite a while, but this semester we also 
started utilizing Cisco NAC/Clean Access to scan and deny access to systems with some of the more popular file sharing 
applications installed. It has brought a few complaints but they fall on deaf ears.

Mike -

We rate limit downloads to something like 24k per user for P2P apps and
Torrents. We do block all "upload" traffic from off campus sources. I've
gotten 2 complaints this year ... and I've found a really nice way of
saying "to bad ... so sad".

How many of you block P2P on your campus?  If you do block it, how many
complaints do you receive because of it?

Thanks,
Mike
