Wires connect each office to the closet, where there are a limited number of network ports.
When a port becomes available for graduate student use, this policy is designed to determine how it should be connected, subject to technical limitations such as broken wiring. Ideally, we would like a computer in every graduate student office. The current limitation is the availability of network ports in each quadrant, so this policy is designed to formalize the allocation of computers and ports. 0. In the event of a pre-existing connection with no computer, it has top priority for a computer. Connections made to the network don't move.
