We are working on a plan to double the internet bandwidth by January 1, 2012. In the meantime, we have taken steps to limit the bandwidth for non-instructional purposes, particularly on the wireless network
Here are the details;
Wireless minis and any other device using NTHS-STUDENT (the one that bypasses the portal) will be affected by these new rate-limits. NTHS-FACULTY falls under wireless that are exempt of the rate limits applied to Pandora and Youtube.
Here are the details;
- anyone ( wired or wireless) going to Google will get guaranteed egress of 50MB with a maximum of 90MB
- wireless minis going to Pandora will get guaranteed egress of 2MB with a maximum of 10MB
- anyone (wired or wireless BUT not minis) going to Pandora get a "medium" priority... no guarantees
- wireless minis going to YouTube will get guaranteed egress of 10MB with a maximum of 30MB
- anyone (wired or wireless BUT not minis) going to YouTube get a "medium" priority... no guarantees
- all other traffic get medium priority... no guarantees - it may be fast, it may be slow, it all depends as to how much bandwidth is been used.
