Re: classifying P2P traffic

["Consolvo, Corbett D" <cc72 () TXSTATE EDU>]

Jason,
  We are currently using Tipping Point to monitor/block which has been mostly very successful.  We are also in the 
process of deploying Facetime's RTGuardian solution for spyware - it also has a P2P section that looks pretty sharp.  
If you are interested I can keep you informed of our progress on that (we just deployed it in test in a small area last 
night)

We think we are catching at least most P2P (based on RIAA notices :) ).  Also, our traffic patterns seem pretty healthy.

Thanks,

What devices are you using to monitor P2P traffic and how well are they
working for you?  Is there some P2P traffic that you believe your
monitoring software isn't catching?  Ie. encrypted traffic, outdated P2P
definitions from the vendor, etc.


Thanks.
