  • Detection and control of peer-to-peer communication
    Patent number: 8219679
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for detecting peer-to-peer communication on a data communication network, between an internal client machine within an internal address space and an external client machine. The method includes routing all messages addressed to internal client machines to an analysis device. The analysis device identifies messages pertaining to peer-to-peer communication and identifies the internal client machine to which the messages of a specified nature were addressed.
