You can if you know the ports it uses and if it's like DC++ which you can specify the port, then use a tool which is pretty new which works on a different ip layer. Below is a post recently sent regarding it. The way it works is that it matches the packets content and pushes that into the shaped pipe, iptables can actually do that too with the "-m string" patch-o-matic module. I'm just not sure what happens after the SYN packet if the connection keeps goign through the shaped pipe or not.. hope this helps...? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: arbitrator-linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:arbitrator-linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Art Reisman Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 9:35 AM To: arbitrator-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Bandwidth/Arbitrator-linux] Adapting Application Level Shaping (Kazaa) comments? There is a sourceforge project that has just released application shaping tools for TC http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ We are in the process of adapting their "application detection code" into the arbitrator.. Their code works by matching text patterns in data packets. If you have any knowledge on this subject please share your thoughts experiences.
