Dear readers, Do you have any experience with successful blocking of P2P (eDonkey, Torrents etc.) traffic in your wireless networks?
Any user who uses torrent client at his PC can effectively consume a lot of bandwidth of Wi-Fi access point, leaving other honest users with small portion of throughput. Port blocking does not help because nowadays P2P clients use random ports, encryption and other means to hide traffic patterns. I suppose that only one distinctive feature of such traffic exists: its ability to consume effective bandwidth. Do you happen to know or use any traffic shaping tools which can limit throughput per user? Thank you in advance for any thoghts, ideas etc... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
