Lee, We use Fortinet Fortigate appliances extensively with great success at handling P2P traffic. As a whole, we generally block the entire FortiGuard P2P category (among others), and then whitelist legitimate applications higher in the policy set. Skype, Steam, and Battle.net are a few examples of P2P traffic that we do allow. I have also been slowly moving our traffic shaping efforts off of Blue Coat PacketShapers and onto our FortiGates with great success and simplified administration. If you'd like to see what is encompassed in the FortiGuard P2P category, you can view it here: https://fortiguard.com/appcontrol I'm sure that PA has similar features that you are already utilizing.

Apologies for the dual-posting for those who fall into that. I'm wondering if those schools running Palo Alto boxes and the like might be willing to share what your appliances are classifying as the top 10-15 P2P apps seen these days, whether you choose to block/limit them or not? Just want to sanity check one of our methodologies, and a few outside views would be helpful if anyone feels like sharing that information.
