Bandwidth Restrictions
Rose-Hulman's Internet connection is a full DS3 (45 Mbits) provided by Indiana Fiber Network. Due to the fact that we do not have unlimited bandwidth IAIT allocates bandwidth on a per-user basis. Every student, staff, and faculty member is guaranteed bandwidth however if they do not use up their full amount of allocated bandwidth other users may use it until they choose to do so. This process is automated by IAIT routers.
Download Bandwidth Restrictions
Apart from the recreational usage (Peer to Peer) limit there are currently no download bandwidth restrictions. It is only limited by the total amount of bandwidth available to campus users.
Recreational Usage Bandwidth Restrictions
Recreation usage of the network has been limited according to the following schedule. Recreational usage is typically defined as peer to peer file sharing programs. This kind of traffic is completely blocked in the wireless network and in classrooms.
| Time | Mbps |
| 7am - 11pm, Mon-Fri | 0.9 |
| 11pm - 7am, MTWT | 2.4 |
| 11pm - 7am, Fri-Mon | 3.6 |
Upload Bandwidth Restrictions
Uploads for all campus users have been capped at 512Kb/s. This was instituted due to a large increase in the number of uploads of campus users.
