being a network tecnician at the university I attend shows me that this number is atcually UNDER exaggerated. we are pushing 80% of traffic at outgoing, gnutella clients.
I haven't been searching much.. but is there any way that we can limit the usage of our schools internet connection, and keep most P2P Local, on the schools LAN? if not, we are going to start Rate-limiting everyone, and if that doesn't work.. start blocking traffic for specific applications (aka, gnutella).

We don't want to stop people alltogether, as I too am one who enjoys getting a song here or there.. but when the network is un-useable for students doing homework or research, something has to go.
