?Thanks, Robert. Is similar to what we used to do with our Palo Alto boxes, but even there we could report on what was being blocked the most from their auto classification under the heading of P2P.

We're using Exinda appliances on our campuses, and we're very happy with them. We've set up a simple rule set; 1- block all the P2P traffic 2 -ignore this white list 3 -all other traffic gets bandwidth shared evenly The devices are capable of much more detailed rule sets and features, but this is what works best for us. The p2p classifications are all done by them and built into the application group, we only have to watch and make sure it's catching everything (very reliable). I can't give a ranking, once traffic is getting discarded, it isn't quantified anymore.

I'm wondering if those schools running Palo Alto boxes and the like might be willing to share what your appliances are classifying as the top 10-15 P2P apps seen these days, whether you choose to block/limit them or not? Just want to sanity check one of our methodologies, and a few outside views would be helpful if anyone feels like sharing that information.
