USAFA and IPODS

<p>In my previous job as Director of Operations for a large off campus student housing provider, we wrestled with these problems every day. Only we had a more difficult job than USAFA because we were selling our network as a perk to the residents, therefore, we could hardly dictate what they put on it. They wanted to be able to have unlimited bandwidth, be able to play video games over the WAN and the LAN and set up peer to peer servers in their rooms.</p>

<p>Any and every time we tried to scale anything back or throttle their bandwidth, they would just leave. We simply could never buy enough bandwidth at an affordable price to be able to keep up with them.</p>

<p>Would have been easy though if we could have simply told them, connect your computer and nothing else and we are going to decide which ports are going to be open and which are not.</p>
