Re: Dorms not allowing routers question
said by alg  :I have heard that the reason why routers aren't allowed is because in their default state they can cause an extreme amount of traffic and come close to crashing the network. However disabling certain settings that are needed for home networks can eliminate that problem, but obviously most people wouldn't do that. I don't know what that setting is though unfortunately. Please explain? Because to me what you said makes no sense whatsoever. If anything routers cause less traffic. Back in Fall of 2003 when those virii spread across the internet, college campuses were hit hard. All because they didn't have anyone turning on a firewall or using routers. If you have a routable IP address, not letting you use a router is reckless. |
