We are using Packeteer with great success blocking P2P traffic.

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 encrypted traffic, outdated P2P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.
