they implemented caps using packeteer to limit the dorms p2p to 20mbps download and 2mbps upload. They did this in reaction to the insane amount of usage, almost 40% of the campus bandwidth.
An interesting paper was written recently by a group in the CS Dept on content delivery systems. They monitored the campus network's border routers for 9 days. The result - Kazaa consumed almost 14TB outgoing and only 2TB incoming. This is in comparison to 3TB outgoing for web and 1.5TB incoming.
What surprised me the most was that more p2p content is leaving the dorms than coming in.
