There was a 3.0 PDLM release on 11/1/05 for Bittorrent traffic.  See

I got an off-list reply about using Nbar, but I've never seen a class map
that would match torrent.

Our ADSL customers traffic is 3 OC3 worth of traffic, I
dont 
think our management would buy the idea.

thanks

      Hello.
      
      Going back to your original question, how to keep
from
      saturating the network with residential users using
      bittorrent/edonkey et al, while suffocating business
      customers.  Here goes.
      
      Netfilter/IpTables (and a slew of commercial
products I'm 
      sure) has a Layer 7 traffic classifier, meaning it
can
      identify specific file transfer applications and set
a
      DiffServ bit.  This means it can tell between a real
http
      request and a edonkey transfer, even if they are
both using 
      http.  It also has rate-limiting capability.  So...
If you
      pass all of the traffic destined for your DSL
customers
      through an iptables box (single point of failure)
then you
      can classify and rate-limit the downstream rate on a

      per-application basis.
      
      Fwiw, if you are using diffserv bits, you could push
the
      rate-limits down to the router with a qos policy in
it
      instead of doing it all in the iptables box.
      
      References on this..  The netfilter website (for 
      classification info) and the Linux advanced router
tools
      (LART) (qos info/rate limiting)
