Campus Bandwidth Management (CBM)

Managing campus network resources, particularly congested commodity access circuits, is an increasing challenge for many campus network operators. Internet2 campuses have adopted a wide-variety of approaches including application-level rate-limiting, per-IP rate-limiting, shaping, quota systems, and usage-based charge-back systems.

The QoS working group has sponsored several panels and BoFs on campus bandwidth management and a new Internet2 working group is being chartered explicitly to discuss CBM alternatives and their implications. Stay tuned.
