Counter-Strike Source (commonly shortened to CSS or simply CSS) is a PC Game developed by the Valve Corporation. 55Gbit/s+ of bandwidth linking Exetel to national and international internet networks. A 1Gbit connection to PIPE Networks is also provided. Pipe Networks generally refers to a common problem in Hydraulic Design Since it began operating Exetel has implemented various practices in an attempt in order to manage this bandwidth.

Uncounted/off-peak period

In Australia ISPs generally offer plans with relatively low download allowances by comparison to the United States and unlimited plans are virtually non-existent. [3] When it began operating Exetel took the unusual step of providing users with significant "free" data in an attempt to manage its bandwidth more effectively. It actively encourages users to carry out their heavy downloads during what is currently called either the "uncounted" or "off-peak" period. Times and allowances during this period have also varied since the policy was first implemented in February 2004. [4][5] As of 1 November 2007 the off-peak period extends from midnight to midday AEST and the allowance within this period is 48GB per month. Events 996 - Emperor Otto III issues a deed to Gottschalk Bishop of Freising which is the oldest known document using the name Ostarrîchi Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The UTC+10 Time zone covers the following locations Australia (AEST&mdash Australian Eastern Standard Time) Australian [5][6][7] This period and its allowance is available to all Exetel customers, except those on low-usage non-contract plans. [5][6]

Despite there being a defined limit in the uncounted/off-peak period, Exetel does not actively prevent customers from downloading beyond that limit. While it used to discourage such action by placing users who exceed the limit in any month into separate bandwidth pools for the remainder of the month it, as of 1 February 2008, began applying excess charges to any downloads beyond the off-peak limit. Events 1327 - Teenaged Edward III is crowned King of England, but the country is ruled by his mother Queen 2008 ( MMVIII) is the current year in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, a Leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common [5][7][8]

P2P deprioritisation

In November 2006, Exetel began restricting peer-to-peer traffic to 50 per cent of its total network capacity during peak periods. Traffic shaping (also known as "packet shaping" is the control of Computer network traffic in order to optimize or guarantee performance lower latency, For other uses of the term see Peer-to-peer (disambiguation For peer-to-peer networks used for file sharing see File sharing [9][10] Six months later, in May 2007, Exetel reported that the P2P deprioritisation system was a success and announced that it was investigating the implementation of a P2P caching system. [11]

Exetel's assertions that it was not the only ISP using deprioritisation lead to customers of other ISPs claiming that their ISP was also deprioritising P2P. [12] Australian ISP Westnet eventually admitted that it had been secretly deprioritising P2P for a year. Westnet is a Perth based Australian Telecommunications company providing Broadband ADSL Broadband ADSL2+ Satellite Broadband [13]

P2P caching

After several announcements regarding P2P caching, on 28 November 2007, Exetel advised customers that a P2P caching system had been implemented. For the town in Argentina, see 28 de Noviembre.
