Staff Network Usage FAQ

Users are restricted in their usage of the network (AARNet and Internet) to a small amount of non-local incoming traffic. This is due to ITS only having a limited budget allocated to it for network access. Netusage is a measure of how much net traffic (email, WWW browsing, FTP, Gopher, Telnet, IRC, ICQ and other chat/monitoring programs) you have available.
