you can also be fairly accurate from the flow data.. eg genuine web traffic is short small transfers, P2P is long-lived flows of continous high usage
In the long run, there is no way to accurately determine what kind of traffic everything is, and short of making encryption illegal and doing deep packet inspection, there is no future for those kinds of measures anyway. Only way I see is to use L3 information as that's basically the only thing we're asked from our customers to handle (in most cases anyway), we move packets from one IP address to another IP address. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
