We treat P2P at Oberlin much like our other default-deny policies: Ask
for an exemption and ye shall receive. As you say, we treat them like
adults and don't quiz them about their reasons, but we do

How do you block bittorrent and P2P traffic? Is it something that can be done
via policy or ACL's? I know I could do it with a packet shaper, but we do not

way of keeping this traffic contained.

Do you own Netsights Policy Manager, and or Oneview? Because with just Policy
Manager, you can build the service and rule to block it, and if you have
Oneview and run netflow, you can right click on the flow and make the rule
quickly.

Many L7/deep inspection products claim they can block Bittorrent and P2P

Like Rob also mentioned, your best bet though would be NAC, that way via
the assessment scan, you can make it mandatory for the NAC
Even with some packet shapers it can be difficult to get it all. Some
