Wes, Yes, this is BitTorrent specific..

I assume you mean BitTorrent message stream encryption (MS) and protocol header encryption (PHE). I suppose it depends on the implementation, but I don't see any reason why encryption wouldn't be used for peer connections in DHT mode. But DHT traffic itself may not be encrypted.
So the HTTP GET and the UDP DHT methods of reaching a tracker in BitTorrent, as implemented in Azureus, BitComet etc do not use MS/PHE? (The HTTP GET obviously can't use PSE). I am trying to find if DHT has been reimplemented in TCP and uses PHE now - cause if it doesn't, traffic shaping can still be pretty straightforward by blocking the tracker connects (HTTP or DHT). Am I missing something? ( I don't mean the post-DHT p2p connections. Those are surely verifiably covered by MS/PSE. ) Thanks! _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
