Subject: Re: The status of consumer rate limiting? Date: Wed, Jul 23, 2003 at 01:40:20AM +0100 Quoting Stephen J. 
Wilcox (steve () telecomplete co uk):


Since some p2p programs now use well known port numbers allocated to other 
things eg port 80, is it even possible to block/rate limit them? And have folks 
attempts at blocking caused this move to use such port numbers which imho is not 
a good thing..


I'm still waiting for a P2P system running inside IPsec. With XP
and W2k making inroads on consumer computers there now is a significant
user base with access to luser-friendly systems carrying these
capabilities.

He probably just wants to take over my CELLS and then EXPLODE inside me
like a BARREL of runny CHOPPED LIVER!  Or maybe he'd like to
PSYCHOLIGICALLY TERRORISE ME until I have no objection to a RIGHT-WING
MILITARY TAKEOVER of my apartment!!  I guess I should call AL PACINO!
