One way of doing this is to use a Linux machine in between and use ipp2p
netfilter plugin to identify P2P traffic. Even if we shut out standard
ports, these apps work on commonly used ports like 80,110,25 etc. :-(

You can rate limit using ipp2p or mark packets using ipp2p and then
shape that traffic using tc.
