Abstract
- Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocols have become popular among the Internet’s users. Due to the bandwidth-greediness of the P2P protocols, it is very significant for bandwidth shapers to detect and control them. Yet, P2P traffic encryption has been increasingly used to evade the detection. In our previous study, we have initially proposed an algorithm to detect and shape this encrypted P2P traffic. Although the previous algorithm could outperform the other proposed solution, it still has some drawbacks, namely over-penalty and minor fault negative problems. Hence, we propose in this paper an enhanced algorithm that can solve both weaknesses. The experiment has done on a test-bed to evaluate the enhanced algorithm. The results have demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency of the new algorithm.
