Ares Ultra costs the customer around $50 from what I hear. It ENCRYPTS
the P2P traffic, and the Mikrotik will NOT recognize it as P2P traffic,
so it will take EVERY AVAILABLE PACKET that your AP can push out. The
way I have dealt with this is to disable the client (at the radio level)
and when they call, I tell them that we cannot support P2P applications.
If they demand that they have to do it, and refuse to quit, then I
uninstall them, and suggest that they get their broadband elsewhere.
I haven't found a more effective way to make it work.

I had a customer tell me yesterday that he uses his Gnutella program to do
unlimited downloads from a paid site. I've used the Mikrotik routers (p2p
queue set to 64k) to block this and other programs, so it's not working now for
the customer. I want to allow for paid downloads, but not P2P filesharing.
Have you come across this? Can it be dealt with?
