Last minute hacking
Just managed to get SLUICE actually working. I converted all of it’s weird internal database handling into low-level perl DBI calls. Messy, but it works. So we will have working limitation graphs soon. Also, SLUICE doesn’t limit servers again.
We found out today what the bandwidth will be for the 2004-2005 school year. I guess it’s still supposed to be a surprise, at least until we verify that the link is working at that speed. This little detail we learned today is basically the icing on the cake. After preparing all the server and networks tricks we can to minimize viruses and other “junk traffic” we now find out that we will have a comfortable amount of bandwidth.
This should be a great year for Internet in the residence halls. I can’t wait to sit back and watch all of our tools beat the network traffic into submission.
