RE: Service definitions

[listuser@neo.pittstate.edu]

I'd imagine if they were open about what they use to classify different
traffic types, that information would be misused by the programmers of the
various apps that want to evade or trick the PS classification.  It would
be a continual one-uping situation.  It's almost that now with KaZaA but
not quite.  The other possibility would be that Packeteer does all the
hard work to identify characteristics about certain types of traffic to
track that traffic, shares the details with the community (or even just
their customers), and a competitor uses that information to decrease their
own research costs.  It would be a bad situation for Packeteer.  It would
be handy to know how certain traffic types are classified for
troubleshooting purposes.  I can't envision a solution that works for
everyone though.  There might be one someday though.
