The traffic shaping battle continues. Allot Communications announced today that their traffic management device “NetEnforcer is able to detect, and throttle encrypted Bittorrent traffic.

Allot Communications states:

Previously, companies have been able to detect and manage applications based on the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer protocol. However, detecting encrypted BitTorrent
has been nearly impossible.

They continue:

Today, Allot is announcing that its NetEnforcer is the first broadband traffic management device to identify and help manage applications based on the encrypted BitTorrent P2P file transfer protocol.

Bittorrent traffic is consuming 40-60% of ISP’s traffic, and more and more ISP’s started to block, and or throttle Bittorrent traffic for this reason.

    I hope my ISP does not start to throttle or block my connections! If they do then they sure will loose customers very quickly. A person really only needs basic dialup to just surf the basic internet alone!

    Ya funny how they are now trying to remove what made them popular in the first place.

    mine has started to do it. I get ~10kb/s download speed for torrents but 300kb/s with FTP servers. It’s REALLY pissing me off.

    Neither of my ISPs block it.
