[WISPA] Has anyone found anything better than layer 7 patterns for identifying Skype?

2010-05-05 Thread Greg Ihnen
I'm trying to prioritize Skype but the L7 patterns are hit or miss. Is there 
any other way to ID Skype traffic? Maybe something that looks at the number of 
connections, the type of connections (UDP) and data rate? Or maybe something 
else? Has anyone tried to go beyond L7 patterns to ID Skype?

the L7 filter rules I used to mark skype for QOS mysteriously stopped 
working about 2-3 months ago... Before that, they worked great..

Maybe it's a newer version of Skype?

Skype goes to great lengths to conceal itself and slip through firewalls which 
sometimes is needed for it to work, but it would be nice if there was a config 
option that made it more easily identifiable for time when it's not an intruder 
on the network and on is actually trying to help it work better.

You would think so. But the whole Idea of it is working no matter what.
So they use whatever they need to (stun...etc..)
