Do you have anything with the WAN accelerators? I'm presuming you're using PacketShaper from Packeteer? How do you like them? Do they seem to work well and do what they say they will?
I installed two Peribit WAN accelerators a few weeks ago on a trial basis and didn't really like them at all. That's why I'm interested. I need them to do VoIP and data shaping from USA to Costa Rica.

At the switchport, do students have 10 or 100mb links? When I was a network admin in college, I set everyone to 10mb links and then throttled individually to specific ports if needed.
Do you block default p2p program ports? I fed everything through SquidProxy before it hit the 2620 router I had.
