Hi all, first - thank you all for the great ideas!
Considering that we have control only over the modem and router and the "let's be nice" factor, as well as the low and remote chance of effectively disabling p2p, I think the best decision will be to isolate and control the traffic. Moreover, there is a chance some clients may use bandwidth by Netflix or other non-p2p services for instance. Today, I have installed dd-wrt on my own home router Dlink DIR-615 Rev. E3 for testing. When ready will just swap it with my friends. To be honest, I had some mixed feelings about dd-wrt, having both excellent and not so much experience with it in the past (circa 2008). Seems like they have improved a lot. The one I could use for this case is the multiple SSID feature. The idea is I will isolate create 4 SSIDs for 4 apartments. Then will watch the statistics. This will point out the heavy users and we will have explicit prove about it (which will maintain the "lets be nice" factor). Will post back here when got some updates. Again, thank you very much, very appreciated! George
