Network Connectivity - your assistance needed

Dear AIS Personnel,

As many of you know we are experiencing network slowdowns during the school day. We have discover by cross referencing some network user data provided by our firewall, DHCP server and IP address data base we can begin to identify high bandwidth locations and the sites they are accessing. It has come to my attention that some users are streaming music and large movie files during the school day. These can eat up band width and contribute to the network slowdowns we are experiencing.

PLEASE AVOID STREAMING MUSIC and MOVIES, VIDEO CHATTING AND DOWNLOADING LARGE FILES during the school day. We need to dedicate our network bandwidth to student academic activity during the school day. Before and after school hours are best used for these activities when needed for academic reasons.

Please pass this message on to maintenance staff, guards and other
extended staff that uses our network but may not be on our email system. Our AUP policy can be viewed at http://www.wbais.org/nonpublic/AUP/AUP.htm

Thank you for your cooperation.

Keep Computing!
