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. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE He probably just wants to take over my CELLS and then EXPLODE inside me like a BARREL of runny CHOPPED LIVER!
