It's Microsoft now so it's been blessed. Yes, it's a peer to peer based system though they maintain POPs for their SkypeOut (to/from landlines) service. Skype is stealthy. I find it to be a great quickie network troubleshooting tool. Nothing else works but Skype? Then you probably have a DNS is

From SourceForge - the mother-of-all-L7-rules: http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/protocols The fix I wrote below works nicely because it keeps the Skype queue clean of P2P traffic. I don't know if the P2P stuff is intentionally trying to masquerade it's traffic as Skype, but the bottom line is

If the p2p is acting like Skype traffic there is nothing you can do. If the two protocols are getting similar, a finer Skype match will work. If Skype changed their methodology then you'll need to come up with a layer 7 rule. Where did you get the rules you have now? Josh Luthman Office: 937-55
