Streaming media

primarirly if the use of streamed content is widespread in your organisation then your available bandwidth is going to be all but eaten up by the streaming users. Also I don't know what business sector you work in but surely if people are watching streamed video then they are not working :).

As far as security holes are concerned as long as your network is properly secured against external threats there should be no issues involved with streaming traffic as requests are initiated from within the network but  thats probably not what you wanted to hear.

security holes associated with streaming are usually found on the streaming server side such as certain servers requiring some UDP ports to be open for feedback in the form of RTCP reciever reports this have to be properly controlled by the firewalls to prevent UDP traffic from sources other than the Streaming client.

We are a manfacturing company. We have a T1 line that is divided for 5 phone lines and 1 data line. I have explained that the issue with some of the apps running slow is beacuse of the bandwidth issue but i guess he wants to see proof in black and white. I have ran a network analyzer and have the graphs to show when the media is streaming and when its not. If you know of any links that I can find and print out to verify that point it would be greatly appericated.
