Appendix A: THEnet Use Policy at The University of Texas at Austin
Network Abuse
Office of Telecommunication Services rOTS") takes a direct and immediate interest in
protecting the operational integrity of the network from any activity at a THEnet
subscriber site which causes disruption of communications services on THEnet or
elsewhere on the Internet. In order to protect the network from any such occurrence,
THEnet subscriber organizations must be able to physically locate any given computer
based on the IP address assigned to it and, upon request, remove that computer from
the network or revoke the computer user's access to that and other computers, as
appropriate. In any case where on-going disruption of communications services on
THEnet or elsewhere on the Internet is traceable to a particular THEnet subscriber
organization and such activity cannot be controlled by that subscriber, then the
subscriber's THEnet connection may be shut down until the disruptive activity has
ceased.
IP Spoofed Address Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks
OTS requires that THEnet subscribers configure their router(s) in such a way as to
prevent their site's participation in so-called 'smurf' and other IP spoofed address attacks
on other Internet sites.
The intended result of this policy is 1) to prevent a smurf attack or other IP spoofed
address attack from originating at a THEnet subscriber site, and 2) to prevent the use of
a THEnet subscriber as an intermediary 'amplifier' site.
Please see "Preventing IP Spoofed Address Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks" document at
hliQJ/www.the.net/tools/docs/dosattacks.php for an example of how to configure your
router against DoS attacks.
Spam
Transmission of unsolicited bulk email C'Spam") by a THEnet subscriber is strictly
prohibited, including the maintenance by a THEnet subscriber of 'open relay' systems
permitting such transmission by third parties. Additionally, a THEnet subscriber may not
host a network service (web-based or other) that is advertised in unsolicited bulk email,
even though such email originates in other networks. Repeated infractions of this Spam
policy will be considered grounds for termination of THEnet service.
Resale of THEnet Connectivity
The resale of THEnet/lnternet access by any THEnet subscriber is prohibited.
