A problem at work is we have a very small wireless connection to the main part of our campus. Skype however is a very useful program for face to face speaking for regional offices if they want to have say a weekly meeting and don't' want an expensive conference call or video-conference. Skype however will become a supernode at times routing other traffic through it and will send enough small packets through that it will use up a large majority of our 1.5mb upload and will cause our requests to not go through and people lose their internet for small amounts of time. Anyone know how to disable supernode mode so they can leave it open and we don't have to worry about it happening? 3 people with that going on could completely use up all our traffice. it was using 1/3 of our traffic with one computer.
