Cisco wireless controllers redirect to an AUP page.  Click to get
online.  No information is collected.

Restrict the bandwidth, or access to ports and
functionality in any way?

Yes. The VLANs involved are behind Debian servers that limit bandwidth
on the aggregate to some amount.  'Fairness' is achieved using SFQ
congestion control.  Rate limiting using tcng and SFQ is an
implementation of nagle that uses a hash for fairness.  Works well and
was sort of easy to setup.  The firewalls are allowing 80,443 and DNS
to our DNS servers.

Do you allow P2P from the guest range?

If it can get through on the ports above.

We also have sponsoring available for our less restricted wireless network.
