I'm in the process of waiting (and waiting) for fiber to be run so I can upgrade my bandwidth, but am currently stuck with 2 T1's on on PoP here that's being flooded. Since it seems that network usage goes to the wall within 10 minutes of seeing the schoolbuses go by the NOC ,I strongly suspect Napster of being behind this. What I'd like, either using the MAX boxes' filtering capabilities, or something on the Ciscos (2500 series), is to be able to block this traffic completely for a bit to see if the problem goes away. Paradise has a product that's supposed to analyze traffic and tell you what's going on, but my topology won't allow me to use it effectively- plus, it needs to be on a "hub" and I don't have any here. Don't have any vacuum tubes, either. ;-) A search on the web for "Block Napster" returns nothing but tons of material on how to get around such a thing- no clues as to how it is done in the first place. Is anyone on either list doing this, and if so, how? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
