We use our Palo Alto devices and block bittorrent on our visitor networks (MPLS VRF), but not staff/faculty or student networks. If a staff or faculty member or student gets identified as doing something untoward via bittorrent, their access is disabled (wired, wireless or even VPN) and they are counseled on what they should not be doing by our IT security office. Students who repeat are sent to the university court system and fined.

I'm surprised that anyone is still trying to block bittorrent. It's never 100%, and at our campus we found that education and stiff repercussions for repeated offences pretty much reduced the use of it (or others) to a trickle. Couple that with reasonably inexpensive Internet costs today i.e. I'm getting 10 Gb pipes for what I was paying for 1 Gb just a few years ago, and there really isn't a need to bandwidth limit either.
