P2P blocking

Overview

The goal of the IPP2P project is to identify peer-to-peer (P2P) data in IP traffic.

Refer http://ipp2p.org/ which then refers to http://opendpi.org/

It appears the ipp2p project may now be defunct (at February 2010).

Note:

These instructions refer to smeserver-ipp2p. The package must be recompiled for each released version of SME server and the corresponding kernel (and kernel mod) version. The last smeserver-ipp2p package was released on 3 March 2009. See Bugzilla:38 for information regarding the current status of development & maintenance.
