[LARTC] Kazaa 2 and Shaping

[LARTC] Kazaa 2 and Shaping

[Snuffy2]

I'm sucessfully running a shaper on the trafic over my
DSL. It works great except ...... I can't seem to get
it to limit Kazaa usage.  I'm not trying to turn of
the Kazaa ports, but just put them at a very low
priority.  I know everyone says that Kazaa uses port
1214 which is true, but Kazaa 2 seems to use a whole
slew of other ones (could be random, not sure).  Is
there a list of all the ports Kazaa 2 uses or a
different, better way to limit Kazaa and place it low
priority?  Is there anyway to scan the IP header and
determine that it's going/coming from Kazaa and limit
it that way?  Any help is appreciated as the users
using Kazaa are flooding the connection ..... again.

Thanx
Snuffy2

You may try shaping everything that has source OR destination port 1214,
in both directions. This improves chances on reducing traffic since the
port 1214 is often used on any other side of connection.

I also saw some patch for iptables to stop kazaa (and other, based on
matching regexp's on data transferred) but i can't find it now.
