Re: Residential (Dorm) Network

["Kellogg, Brian D." <bkellogg () SBU EDU>]

We use VLAN ACLs to restrict access from student networks to the rest of
our campus network.  We also use QoS to prioritize voice, video, student
traffic, employee traffic accordingly.  Student networks do not have a
bandwidth cap, but their traffic will be dropped first if there is any
congestion anywhere on our network.  This rarely happens.  Students have
pretty much the same access to Campus resources as does someone coming
in over our internet connection as all or our student services are web
enabled.  Student networks are treated as un-trusted networks here as
much as is possible.

 

 

 

Fyi,

I am interested in hearing how your University handles their Residential
Network.  Is it isolated through Firewalls, ACLS?  Does it have
dedicated bandwidth?  How do users access internal College resources?
Do they access resources through a VPN?

 

Thanks,
