Re: HEOA Question

["SCHALIP, MICHAEL" <mschalip () CNM EDU>]

As an ex-fed myself - I always wonder about compliance with unfunded mandates like HEOA.  But - aren't the possible 
"responses" such that network logs, etc. just one route?.....do you *have* to do the logging thing?  There are other 
"technology-based deterrents" that could be pursued, right?

(From Educause) "Several sections of the HEOA deal with unauthorized file sharing on campus networks, imposing three 
general requirements on all U.S. colleges and universities:

*An annual disclosure to students describing copyright law and campus policies related to violating copyright law.
*A plan to "effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials" by users of its network, 
including "the use of one or more technology-based deterrents".
*A plan to "offer alternatives to illegal downloading"."

If you're using Cisco gear on the edge of the wireless network to handle the NATing, it might be helpful to turn on 
Netflow and send the flow data to a collector. Even an open-source tool like Flowviewer would give you better records 
of which client is passing what kind of traffic; depending on the number of IPs we're talking about, that might be 
sufficient to handle your HEOA demands.
