Internet Quotas
The School has in place a system for imposing quotas on Internet usage. This means that once you exceed your quota you will no longer have WWW, FTP, SSH or other IP-based access to sites outside of the University. Unfortunately Internet access costs the School money and we must seek to encourage users to only download material relevant to their coursework.
You can view your current quota using the ipq command on any UNIX workstation. You are only allocated half of your Session IP Quota at the start of the session. The other half is allocated after the HECS census date, similarly to your print quota. It is also possible for you to purchase extra quota in the same manner as you purchase print quota. The form needs to be obtained from the Help Desk, extra quota needs to be paid for at the University Cashier and the receipt returned to the Help Desk for quota allocation and update. There are limitations imposed on Internet Quota purchases, and as a result, any additional quota your purchase must not exceed you base session allocation. Your purchase quota limit can be obtained by running the command priv ipq_explain username on yourself.
For more information about Internet quotas and purchasing conditions, please see the Help Desk or http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~ipq.
