“Ihug is not anti-P2P,” or peer-to-peer traffic, says Cherie Lacey, the provider’s communications manager. She was responding to claims made in the Geekzone online forum by a poster claiming all Internet Protocol (IP) ports numbered over 1,000 are being rate-limited.
This isn’t the case, Lacey says and adds “I’m afraid this customer has been misinformed.” Without specifying which ones, Lacey says that a number of ports above 1,000 are shaped.
However, many used by common interactive protocols, such as popular online game World of Warcraft, are excluded she says, ditto ones for remote control applications and Voice over Internet Protocol.
