I thought so too - I thought the P2P stuff was just about distributing
directory information, and didn't think that could be very much data.
However, I just came across something else and think that I now understand why
Sype would do exactly the above.
One of the key advantages of Skype that allowed it to become such a success is
that it pretty much 'just works' - you didn't need to have the knowledge or
authority to adjust your firewall etc to get it to working.
If I understand correctly, the P2P stuff is part of how they get round NAT
(network address translation) issues. In order for a Skype user behind one
NAT to talk to a second Skype user behind another NAT, they find a patsy^H^H^H
third user on a publicly routable address, and bounce their call off that user
- precisely running down that third user's pipe and back out again.
My naive and uninformed assumption is that most users are behind NATs, and
that the poor saps who are running Skype and not behind a NAT must be carrying
a lot of traffic for the rest of us. Not least because Skype also say that
they keep multiple paths open and dynamically switch between them to increase
call quality. I'm surprised if many institutions have networks that would
allow their bandwidth to be used in that way, but I only have a bluffer's
understanding of these things, so perhaps there are some setups which although
NAT'd are vulnerable to this sort of thing. And obviously the clever people
who designed Skype were looking for all the loopholes they could exploit to
make it work.
I'm reminded of the analogy from (I think) Bruce Schneier in another context:
"A 'firewall friendly' protocol is like a skull friendly bullet".

What about reducing bandwidth capacity at the skype port level on the firewall, I assume that you are running a managed system.

[MCN-L] do you Skype?
I probably misspoke in saying each user donates spare capacity.
The role of a Skype "supernode" is to serve as the directory and router for
other users, in lieu of Skype operating their own centrally managed servers.
Any Skype user ("node") can become a supernode given the right conditions which
are supposed to include spare processor and connection capacity and a routable
public IP address. That didn't apply to us, but I still saw outrageous
bandwidth consumption that correlated with the presence of Skype.
I guess I can't explain why Skype was so bandwidth-hungry for us, but removing
it and banning its re-installation resolved the problem. I suppose that - like
anything else - if you are considering using it you might want to do thorough
testing before committing to its adoption.

Ad-hoc Skype is explicitly banned here. It may return someday as an
organizational initiative, but we're still trying to figure out what the
benefit would be for us. (We have sponsored phone service and have virtually
no international communication requirements, so our economics may not be
typical.)
It wasn't always this way - I allowed it for a while. I originally had to ban
it because we were short on bandwidth, and some folks couldn't resist using it
in ways that completely overwhelmed our connection. That led to a temporary
suspension of Skype use pending system analysis, improvements, and re-analysis.
After we upgraded our connection I discovered the more troubling property of
Skype traffic that led to the current outright ban:
As I understand it, Skype can exist as a "free" service because each user
donates spare bandwidth to carrying calls for other users. For home or
home-like use that's probably okay since the bandwidth Skype sees as idle is
probably actually so. In an enterprise or enterprise-like setting, the
individual Skype clients don't do as good a job at measuring excess capacity.
My previous service was SDSL at 1.5 mbps, and with 45 people in the office our
utilization was over 95% at all times. My second site users were essentially
unable to work, and even main site users were losing patience. After the
upgrade to 10 mbps (metro-Ethernet), my typical utilization went to 20%
(peaking at 90%, but only occasionally and briefly - as it should be) and my
remote users were very satisfied. But after installing Skype, even with no
active calls and the software sitting "idle", my utilization went back up to
90%.
I searched for workarounds or ways to manage its bandwidth consumption, but
it's not really designed for managed operation - or may even be designed to
work AROUND management. It definitely is designed to work around firewall
restrictions, so my technological means to block the traffic were somewhat
limited.
On the bright side, this sequence of events raised the consequences of
installing software without approval from "it'll piss off the IT department" to
"you could get fired for it". ;-)

[MCN-L] do you Skype?
I don't think of Skype as a P2P application--it is =not= one in the traditional sense of, say, the file sharing networks. It provides excellent security and encryption for transferring files between skype users--much saner than attaching emails, or sftping files up and down to/from a server. We keep ours pretty locked down--none of our users broadcast their existence, so the only way people know the accounts even exist, other than by accident (and remembering the usual "obscurity is not security" principles--those accounts are hard to find, but not impossible to find). This keeps unwanted attention to a minimum. To be honest, compared to other IM or file sharing options Skype seems unusually secure. As a way to save business costs by using voip, it seems to work reasonably well. Ari On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 10:31 PM, Dowden, Robin wrote: > Do you allow Skype in your institution?
