- Abstract
- The usage of P2P applications is rapidly increased to share files directly from host to host without central server. P2P applications make a lot of P2P packets about information of files and hosts for P2P service. These P2P packets will be sent to other P2P hosts and they are occupying big portion of bandwidth and disturb host and network to do proper functions. To solve this problem, the P2P packets should be discarded on gateway or router. However P2P service can be used for legal work sometimes, so the P2P packets should be accepted at that time. In this paper, we provide software architecture to detect and control P2P packets efficiently. In this architecture, the detected P2P packet will be drop or accepted by P2P traffic control policy that is configured by network administrator. Also the implemented traffic rate-limit function provides an efficient method to manage P2P packets differentially according to service class, service hours and hosts. The main purpose of this paper is designing a simple and light-weight but efficient module for P2P detection and control.
