What actions are taken to enforce the Network Bandwidth Usage guideline?

0

Users who are found to exceed the bandwidth guidelines are notified via email and are given an opportunity to correct the problem before network access is suspended. Users are considered to have exceeded the guidelines for the first time only if the average of their bandwidth usage over a five-day period exceeds the guideline. Users are then given two additional warnings each time their usage on a single day exceeds the guideline limits. Between each notification is a 72 hour (three days) “grace period” within which the user is expected to correct the problem that is causing the excessive use of bandwidth. After a user has been notified and given opportunities to bring bandwidth usage under the establish limits, network access is suspended the next time bandwidth limits are exceeded within a single day. For details of the entire notification and enforcement process, read How Computing Services Monitors and Enforces Network Bandwidth Usage.
