Are you sure skype is your problem? I would doubt it because much of the bandwidth on skype would be from a video conversation, and if bandwidth is low then the video frames would be too slow to have any meaningful video chat.   I think that transfering a continous large file (which would cause the network to slow down) is not the same as transmitting video frames. Each frame is like a small file therefore it's like transfering many small files.   What made you conclude it's skype?   O_O   --- On Tue, 4/7/09, MUTUA Andrew <mutua.andrew@gmail.com> wrote: From: MUTUA Andrew <mutua.andrew@gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] How to Manage Skype Usage in a Network To: skunkworks@my.co.ke Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 12:01 PM How can one manage the Skype Traffic in a Network - considering its now a necessary evil ( a vital business tool and also a bandwidth gazzler).
