With the new school year in gear ..... and double our res connections,
there
are a few questions we have around Residence Halls and what other
institutions
are doing to provide reliable, secure conectivity to the same.


1. What type of connection supplies res halls (bandwidth etc.)?

2. Is the residence connected in any way to the institute network, or
is it on
a separate feed? Do you outsource your residence connection?

3. What technology is is place to stop (if any) peer-to-peer sharing
etc?

4. Do you get complaints from RIAA, MPAA, etc?

5. How many users are connected in res halls?

6. Are users authenticated? By what means?

7. Are user machines inspected before connection is allowed?

8. Are res halls bound by Service Level Agreements / Policies?

9. What is the guaranteed uptime of res halls (if a guarantee is made
at all)?

10. Are res halls supported by the institue helpdesk, or does the res
hall have
its own helpdesk?.

11. What is the demarcation point for responsibility to the institute
(switch
port, wall jack)?

12. What are the policy (if policy exists) actions for gross network
abuse?


Any information you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated....
