SFSU Penaltybox 1.1.2 Description

The SFSU Penaltybox is a solution for high network traffic in residence halls. It implements a bandwidth quota, penalizing the users who cause most of the network congestion. When users go over their bandwidth quota in a time period their traffic is limited using a Packeteer PacketShaper for a certain period of time before they are let out from the penalty box. The users will be blocked immediatly when they exceed their limit, and they will be blocked from that point on for how ever long you set your time period. (eg we have a 10 gb/week limit, so if they go over on day 3, they will be limited to 64kbps until day 10, they will be blocked for an entire week after they have exceed their limit).
