Our guest access has been in place now for only a few months, but, it sounds very similar to yours. We do restrict what ports can be accessed, as well as have a bandwidth limit. So far we have had no DMCA issues. Our plan if we do is to block their MAC address.

Do you: Require any kind of registration or authentication? Restrict the bandwidth, or access to ports and functionality in any way? Do you allow P2P from the guest range? Here at NEU we do not allow access to our preferred resources or core systems (data centers ect) from the guest range, but otherwise people have most functionality. What we have been seeing over the past year is an up-trend of people using the guest range to download copyright material. Our automated system will respond to complaints from outside entities and notify students they are in violation of our policies, but we do not have that ability with the guest network. Mark T.
