12/12   Ahh, Berkeley's net connection saturated again....
        \_ It looks like there is some saturation, but the net problems of
           the past couple of days are probably due to denial-of-service
           \_ What denial of service attack?
           attacks, rather than traffic volume.  There's some slop in our
           network capacity; if we're at capacity, usenet traffic (15% of the
           total) gets deprioritized.
           Right now the bottleneck is the link to the Packeteer box itself,
           which is limited to 100 megabits but is being upgraded. -tom
           \_ The whole campus only gets 100mb/sec?
                \_ The campus, except the reshalls (which have their own pipe),
                   and SETI@Home (which also does), currently has 100 megabits
                   to the commodity Internet (that is, everything that's not
                   Internet 2).  -tom
                   \_ By the way, does the EECS have it's own connection
                      to commodity Internet or do they share this connection
                      with the rest of campus?
                        \_ I believe there are a couple of research links
                           directly into EECS, but most of their traffic
                           travels over the same nets as everyone else. -tom
