We use Packeteer's Packet Shaper to throttle bandwidth. To catch those types of things, I believe it looks for the application, rather than the port, although it can look for the ports as well. Our network guy has to update this periodically, but he can tell the bandwidth used per application. If a new application name comes out, that would be provided on his usage reports. He then adds it to the rest of the items that he throttles.
My guess is that this is how he handles Skype, but I can not say with complete accuracy.

How do you deal with Skype? With the port switching and all it is almost impossible to tell. New torrent stuff is working the same way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206041 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
