6/6     Does the campus block morpheus et al?
        \_ No.  -tom
           \_ nor should it.
           \_ How do they stop individual users from using 99% of the
              bandwidth? Do they limit bandwidth per port?
              \_ TCP stops it.  And most of the networks on campus are
                 10-megabit shared ethernet with 150+ hosts, so there's
                 not a lot one host can do anyway.  The aggregate bandwidth
                 issue is the problem, not any single user.  -tom
                 \_ I thought it was the tragedy of the commons?
                    \_ Thats what the Berkeley traffic shaper is for
                    \_ Do you have any idea what the term "tragedy of the
                       commons" means?  -tom
