<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Methods exist to throttle pretty much
any sort of traffic irrespective of protocol-level encryption or
port randomisation, so I wouldn't think that any traffic
management would be based on TCP/UDP ports.<br>
<br>
The thing that surprises me is that this is Telstra making these
sorts of statements. They pay nothing for domestic traffic
sourcing, they have massive infrastructure in place to service
residential and corporate customers, do not need to rely on third
parties for intercapital or international connectivity (beyond
buying very cheap transit in the US etc) and are collecting
significant revenue from wholesale customers.<br>
<br>
It almost smells of cost control going forward, assuming a
significant uplift in traffic levels with LTE Advanced and widely
available NBN connectivity. <br>

e.g. one bank announces their interest rates

possible large 'constraints' on the next generation products /

<div>Parts of that page are very much out of date.
Although Skype is still technically
peer-to-peer based, the "peers" (supernodes)
that previously could be any other Skype users
system, are now only Microsoft systems in
Microsoft datacenters. So in essence, it's more
of a client-server architecture than P2P (even
though it still does use P2P-style concepts to
find those servers)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Even so, it's a moot point - Telstra aren't
talking about throttling "P2P", they are talking
about throttling specific P2P protocols - and
dollars-to-donuts says Skype would not be one of
those they are considering.</div>
