Julian,<div><br></div><div>To be correct, P2P is a concept, not a protocol. Telstra rate-limiting P2P, would likely means they are going after certain actual protocols such as BitTorrent and others.</div><div><br></div><div>
Skype has its own protocol, and I don't imagine Telstra intending on messing with Microsoft (who now owns Skype) as they are a strategic partner I believe.</div><div><br></div><div>Which brings the question. Given some P2P is encrypted and is hard to discern from other encrypted traffic, how are they going to tell what is P2P and what isn't?</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is also some P2P running over IPv6 inside Teredo (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling</a>) again making it very hard to identify.</div>
<div><br></div><div>BTW... I think the references in that Wiki article are a bit old. iBurst has been gone for many years, and Unwired is gone too.<br clear="all"><div><div><br>...Skeeve</div><div><br></div><div><div><b style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Skeeve Stevens - </b><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">eintellego Networks Pty Ltd</span></div>
