Resnet will go from a 45Mbs of bandwidth to a shared 822Mbs of bandwidth on 11/17/2008. Current peak after 5:00PM for campus is less than 100Mbs total.

Traffic shaping will be changed from placing heavy bandwidth users in a shared constrained queue from 175MB/hour to 500MB/hour. This will be tuned over the spring semester to allow full use of the new bandwidth.

In March NGN (Next Generation Network) including the ICN (Intercampus Network) will come online. This is a dark fiber network supporting all of UM and other academic sites in the state. It can deliver 40-1Gbs lambdas (waves) that can be quickly provisioned with minimal additional cost. The UM system will have a dedicated 10G lambda to connect the 4 campuses, it will be a redundant service capable of rerouting around fiber cuts.

After NGN comes online our provider (MoreNet) will peer with the I2 network to provide additional content services (video, music …) over the I2 network reducing I2 (commercial network bandwidth consumption and costs).

Traffic shaping will be removed from I2 when NGN comes online.

I will let Tiffany know if the 11/17/2008 date will be rescheduled.

We have also recently doubled the bandwidth for gamers from 6:00PM Friday – 7:00PM Sunday.

If you have issues with ResNet please put in help tickets or call the helpdesk. If you do not get response in a timely fashion, call or email me and let me know.

Huzzah! Only...a year and a half too late. I'll get one semester use of this improved bandwidth in the Resnet. Oh well, this will be better than the horrible crap we've had so far. Woot :D

So it's like having a Ferrari w/ no gas. It's sexy and cool but you won't really get any real use out of it.

What are you smoking? No use out of it? I don't even know if I should begin to tear apart your claim. :P

Why do you even talk anymore? You KNOW how much use the internet is without torrents yet you still want to flaunt your stupidity. I don't get it?

My comment was unrelated to the torrent one.

I expect an apology.

I never even use bittorrents, I could really care if it was blocked anyways. My servers/ftp's are encrypted with SSL anyways, so they couldn't block/stop me even if they wanted to.

The fact that they have bandwidth limitations though means that while you could download insanely fast, you've pretty much got your arms tied behind your back in how you use it.

So you've got a high bandwidth, it doesn't mean your entire way of using it has changed does it? It's mainly going to stop lag or other issues from to many people being on/at the same network/time.

Now downloading between campus's would be a huge BOOM, but last i heard this kind of got wiff'd a while back but with all this going into effect this would be a major event if those things came back.

When I first got onto campus, we didn't have any limitations. We had a opened internet connection for the entire campus and we had no problems downloading things at full speeds. Back then things worked great, there were no super leaches or power users like we got later.


I think this is actually great news but I'm hardly going to jump up and down for joy over something like this. Maybe with this backbone coming into Rolla we'll see some overflow into the commercial market. Maybe FidNet wont suck balls and get some competitive rates/speeds that towns 20 miles away have. Now if that started to happen then I'd say it's some good news bc Rolla has Lagged far behind everyone else around us on the internet side of things for the last 4 years.
