Someone's sucking down the corporate bandwidth

Was down pulling 8K/sec a little while ago, up to 14K/sec right now. Been like this all morning.

This really sucks when I'm trying to do a remote assistance connection to a client.

I wonder who's running Kazaa... <-- that is a sarcastic comment people, I have no idea why the network is crawling, probably someone is streaming video from a client site.

-- and it's fixed now anyway...
 
I think if 1 person running kazaa steals the "corporate bandwidth" then you really have "corporate bandwidth"
 
I don't know why but this thread immediately reminded me of the classic Spaceballs quote - "It's Mega-Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!"
 
I take it you're not in charge of the networking ... they have tools to hunt people down.

No I'm not... and they took the corporate monitoring tool out of the NOC which I sit right next to.

Ironically - I (being the helpdesk) put in a support ticket to have them look into it.

We're up to 24K/sec now.

No, they just happen to admin about 30 offsite networks in addition to our own.

No it's a simple 2 second rule that could be set up in just about any firewall that should be in a "corporate" environment.
 
I had no idea a single kazaa client can slow down an entire corporate network. is this corporation on cable?
 
how would even 400kbps be "sucking down?"

even the smallest companies I've ever worked for had a seemingly unlimmited amount of bandiwth....

T1 or FracT1 are still pretty popular simply because of reliability and support. Their bandwith hasn't changed in the last 10 years, but the normal home users's sure has. It doesn't take very many BT leeches(if even more than one) on broadband connections to saturate the upload of a T1 line.
