That's about as hostile as you get!  A lot of intelligent (generally!)
people with too much time on their hands.

ntop (http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html) is a fantastic tool for analysing
the traffic on your network and includes breakdowns by protocol incl.
P2P.

We were using this at UNSW to find the "Top Talkers" on the network and
it was extremely simple to use.

In particular it made it incredible easy to find compromised Windows
machines as they'd be the ones that had done 100 times more traffic than
most other machines ;-)

Definately a good idea but only after the fact or for the honest people.
