Is there any garanted way to determinate that kind of traffic as utorrent and skype

now I’m trying to do that through l7 rules

using that strings

for

utorrent

\x7F\xFF\xFF\xFF\xAB

very few amount of data detected as utorrents
I add some extra string to do more

^(bittorrent protocol|azver$|get/scrape\?info_hash=)|d1:ad2:id20:|'7P\)[RP]

i think there to much unnecessary staff
and

skype

[\xbc]

i think there much unnecessary data

Can anybody give me any advice to that right?

I have heard that latest uTorrent uses some new encryption, so older L7 rules will not work. it’s hard to block the new utorrent, maybe you should work other way - allow good traffic, imply speed limitation, and block unknown traffic. If a person stays within his speed limits, why should you block his torrent?

just a note - there are legit uses of torrent, some examples:

  • RouterOS download
  • different game distribution (e.g. world of warcraft)
  • Linux distribution download

to name few.

i dont block i need to set priority

in that case, do the opposite, identify good traffic, give it priority, then tag the rest of the traffic as low priority.
