control the amount of connections to help control p2p. Jeff will
step in and correct me if I'm wrong.
You are correct. Mikrotik can do the same. ANY Linux based system
can limit connections, because it's built into iptables. Frankly,
this is the method I use to set up QOS (part of it, anyway), because
it is the ONLY effective way to limit the negative impact of these
torrents. Which, by the way, is (IMHO) a VERY accurate name (note
definitions 2 and 4).
tor??rent
- noun
1. a stream of water flowing with great rapidity and violence.
2. a rushing, violent, or abundant and unceasing stream of
anything: a torrent of lava.
3. a violent downpour of rain.
4. a violent, tumultuous, or overwhelming flow: a torrent of
abuse.
