At the time I was using it to do traffic shaping, to prevent p2p
applications overloading a network with low bandwidth internet
connection. The problem was that it only needed one p2p application to
not be identified for the network to be overloaded. So in the end I took
a rather rudimentary approach and just identified any client making lots
of connections to ports above 1024:
