A good way would probably be to look up some example scripts on the net that already deal with P2P. There are some that use IPP2P and / or l7-filter (two project that try to detect type of traffic by looking at the data of the packets). My own script uses a combination of HTB / PRIO / SFQ qdiscs and puts said P2P traffic into the lowest PRIO band. I found this to be quite effective in my home network, although others might find it a tad too aggressive, because PRIO won't give any bandwidth to P2P as long as there are ssh/www/other packets to be sent / received. You can have a look at the script here: http://www.metamorpher.de/fairnat/ If you're not shaping for clients behind a router, you'll need a bit of a different approach, but if you've already read the LARTC howto and other docs it might give you an idea of how to solve it in your own situation.
