Question for those of you that host the gamer networks.  We get some complaints from students regarding their NAT type 
being Strict depending on the type of gaming system.  Most games seem to work but there are some that don’t from what I 
am told.  I am not a gamer so go gently.  lol


1.       What method are you providing external IP addresses for gamers?  One to One Nat/ one to Many Nat/PAT?

2.       How many external IP addresses are you assigning to these gamer networks on average?

Thanks

We actually have a degree in Game design here at Bradley.  We carved out a segment of the network, let them put their 
own router/firewall in and completely blocked it from the rest of the campus.  We throttle the bandwidth they can use 
so it doesn’t get out of hand.  The only thing those machines have access to are other machines “designated” within 
that area and the internet.  No one can bring their own computers in and have them work unless they talk with us first.

The first question is who is asking, with the second being what is the existing policy regarding games on the campus 
network?

Hello, I have been requested to provide connectivity for a gamer club using the college’s network and internet 
connection. What are others doing? Am I over reacting by not allowing such activity?
Thanks much,
