Re: Do not use Port 24032 for P2P



Chris Davies:

I'd suggest that this scenario was remarkably consistent with
a P2P model, regardless of the traffic content.

Like Skype VoIP? It uses both encryption and a P2P model of bandwidth
sharing. So if you block all encrypted traffic with multiple ingress and
egress points you could be blocking valid Skype traffic along with any
other valid P2P traffic -- for which there are plenty of legitimate uses.
q.v. legaltorrents.com plus several OS and software distributions
including CentOS and OpenOffice.org.
