In a scenario as such then a minimum requirement should be stated...for instance it can be that "an institution must provide proof of infrastructure(up to access layer) that supports up to 60% of the IP resource requested".<br>
<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I never said an institution would present forged names, maybe the message was not clear. the intention of the message was in a senario where a university registers many students which then justifies allocations which are not used due to either the lack of networking resources, or where institutions have many part time students that make up a big number but actually are never at the institution at the same time. </div>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Thank you for providing more clarification to what you meant; it then mean we are on the same page on this one ;) the scenario you have actually now referred to is also related to what i painted in my mail before this. It is very practical that Institutions will definately not have enough infrastructure to meet the demand of her community (staff and students) the timing of admission and funds restrictions may be some of the reasons for such a situation.<br>
<br>However,<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div> (And there was a suggested formula for working this out earlier on this thread) but all this creates a big (virtual ) student body.</div>
<div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Personally i am not in support of such a formula and i don't think such a formula should hold so long as a student or staff is a "on-site member" of the institution he/she should be counted as whole, irrespective of whether the students or staff are part-time or full time. Comes to think of it, there are many other people within the university community that were not considered, such as guests and family members(for those that lives in staff quarters) so IMHO the excess of the part-timers will hopefully cover for those.<br>
<br>The only funtime/partime individual that i think we don't necessarily have to consider are those that are totally off-site (online learners/tutors) <br><br>Also technically speaking, i believe most of the institution will run some kind of dynamic address assignment and ofcourse those assignment will have lease period...which will mean that even though a part time student came in the morning to use the network and left....it does not necessarily mean that the IP address he/she used is available in the evening to another person(depending on the lease time set)<br>
