This page is provides information on the current student network traffic charges.

The charging model is influenced by that employed by AARNet. 'On-net' refers to network traffic sourced from locations directly attached to AARNet's network, namely universities and other research institutions. It also includes mirror.aarnet.edu.au, and some fraction of WAIX. 'Off-net' is basically everything else.

To check whether a site is on- or off-net, there does exist a address query interface.
