often it has to, as others have mentioned the problem with bandwidth
overuse by toys in the office.  Still, almost everyone has missed the
mainpoint of my reply, that being, if your perimiters are outsourced for

folks serious about security are concerned, as well as those trying to use

glorified routers passing some of the nonsense traffic, let alone that we
now hire folks to maintain those glorified routers that have not only no
security experience, but, they have never even maintained a single Os.

Technology should not be used to manage people's behavior.
