1) The Ares/Galaxy network is a small portion of our overall problem mainly with clients that connect to the Gnutella network. Last I knew you could use Ares to connect to Gnutella. 2) We block all P2P applications as well as file transfers using IM. We use an X505 from Tippingpoint. It is a combined firewall and IPS. 3)See number 2 4)See number 2 5)We use the IPS function of the X505 to block the Internet traffic and then quarantine the user for a period of one hour. Any time the try and access the internet the get a web page that describes way they are blocked and mitigation steps to prevent further quarantine as well as the helpdesk number. It's really a slap on the hands as there is no other punishment except for loss of Internet. Initially we saw lots of hits but as students learned the system would catch them everytime and take their internet away they behaved. 7) A) in a month and a half we've had 760 instances of quarantining, this includes the same person multiple times, no DMCA notices B) approx. 400 day students and approx. 200 resident students Michael H.

Our largest problem so far this year has been Ares file sharing and it has been a substantial one. We are looking to find out what other schools are doing to affect Ares on the network: 1) Has Ares been a problem for you this year? 2) Do you block Ares? 3) Do you shape P2P? 4) Do you block P2P? 5) Any other technical solution for combating the illegal use and/or network impact of P2P and/or Ares? 6) When did you start doing any of the above? 7) Any numbers you are willing to share? (if I share any off list comments back to list I will merge them to keep them unidentifiable) a. Violations? b. Total on campus student count (for ratio)? _________________________ Thank you, Gregory R.
