...effort to cut down on the overwhelming traffic created by Napster and other file-sharing software, Harvard Arts and Sciences Computer Services (HASCS) announced three weeks ago that it would limit outbound network traffic to only a fraction of the total bandwidth. Although this temporary measure is intended only to prevent outside users from connecting to computers on the Harvard network, it has now become clear that the restriction is interfering with legitimate student use of the network. Although we support HASCS in its attempt to make sure that a functioning network is available to students, the current problems would...
Kevin Davis '98, coordinator of residential computing for FAS Computer Services, said that although the new traffic-shaping policy is proving effective in keeping outbound traffic under control and improving overall network response times, it has caused students to encounter failures and delays when using peer-to-peer file transfer programs, web-to-phone services and video games...
...been a rough several months for the Harvard network. Back in September, extremely high traffic brought the network to a grinding halt. Earlier this month, Harvard Arts and Sciences Computer Services (HASCS) restricted outbound network traffic because of the extremely high load. Now HASCS is contemplating the creation of a firewall, a barrier that would prevent outside computers from accessing data on student computers. The firewall might help reduce the traffic that has been slowing and destabilizing the network for months, but it is vital that any firewall be designed to give students the maximum degree of flexibility in their...
...governments and private institutions, suspicious of the spendthrift habits, mammoth bank accounts and princely villas that have become trademarks of nouveau riche Russians abroad, are beginning to close their doors and their borders to some of the richest. And many powerful Russian tycoons must think twice before boarding an outbound flight lest they share the fate of Pavel Borodin, the erstwhile Kremlin property manager and multimillionaire who was arrested last month in New York on an extradition request from Switzerland alleging involvement in money laundering...
...current traffic shaping policy, which limits outbound network traffic to 10 percent of bandwidth, is similarly not a permanent solution because of the difficulties involved in setting a specific amount of traffic that can flow in the outbound direction. A fixed limit does not account for changes in the total traffic...
