We know enough about it not to disconnect them for bandwidth abuse. We don't rate limit it as it's mainly going over our I2 links. Stepping back from being bandwidth police, it's an awesome P2P use as long as you have bandwidth to support it. We made sure our other P2P efforts don't interfere.

If so, I would be interested in hearing if you are shaping this application's bandwidth or have taken any other measures to throttle
it
down and control the IP addresses it talks to. One of our department has purchased the software and it seems to be very bandwidth thirsty. In addition the P2P model they are using seems not to handle RFC1918 IP addresses so our internal sensors are triggering
when
Dragonfly tries to connect to a peer over a private IP.
