The goal of the IPP2P project is to identify peer-to-peer (P2P) data in IP traffic. For this purpose we extended the iptables/netfilter architecture by a new matching module. There by IPP2P integrates itself easily into existing Linux firewalls and it's functionality can be used by adding appropriate filter rules.
IPP2P uses suitable search patterns to identify P2P traffic thus allowing the reliable identifcation of traffic belonging to many P2P networks.
