Subject: blocking p2p traffic


Hi,

    Any information regarding IDS/IPS software available which blocks
p2p traffic? Or in general any information regarding how to identify p2p
application is running and may be configure firewall to block such
traffic. In general it is observed that such applications do not work on
= single port and do port hopping. How to block them?

Any inputs on the same would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Yashodhan
