    Miami network admin: "Sir? We've got gigabytes of usage all of a sudden, all from one VLAN."

    Miami network manager: "Let's see... all the students have gone home. Who's left in that building?"

    Moral of the story: When laying waste to a network bandwidth-wise, it is best to do it when you're able to point a finger elsewhere.
