College Station, TX | Bring on the college students... those "10Gbps" are just going to give students more pipe to fill with Bit torrent, etc. I'm going to have to move back on campus so I can download full length movies/games in seconds.

| Not sure the students get all the bandwidth Last time I checked UC Irvine's connection, they had only a few 100Mb links plus a few 45Mb links. That and the build all the student housing to only be 10Mb switched, so you only get 1MB/sec download or so. Even with all the file sharing network usage wasn't more than 40% utilized. |

I2 is a totally separate network. So unless you are Peering specifically on your I2 network - no dice. I2 and regular Internet are 2 totally different things! |

London, ON | Most schools that have an I2 link will route packets over I2 if it's at all possible. It's much cheaper for them to do that way and it's all automatic so students don't have to do anything to download from another I2 school. |

internet2 is what the system defaults to, if it needs something thats off of internet2, then it goes to the universities regular pipe.
also, ever heard of dc++? It is common on our campus for students to be able to download at 20mbit/s or more, right now! |
