# Automatic Network Exclusion

**Automatic Network Exclusion** is a security and stability mechanism employed by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] within the student residences network.

The system automatically detects devices or software that cause disruptions to the data network (e.g., through broadcast storms, malicious activity, or faulty hardware). Once a disruptive system is identified, it is automatically disconnected from the network for a period of **24 hours**. This prevents a single faulty device from impacting the connectivity of other residents.
