Abstract |
Nowaday, many universities are faced with bandwidth saturation problem caused by several parameters namely using youtube abusively, online games and especially illegal downloading makes havoc with the use of Peer-to-Peer protocol such as BitTorrent, which is often associated with data piracy and copyright violation. This article aims to present the one hand the impact of the use of Peer-to-Peer file sharing traffic on campus bandwidth by observation of BitTorrent traffic and the other hand to provide a method for limiting the illicit access at this kind of network. For this work, we preferred to use a set of open source tools like wireshak sniffer to capture Bitorrent traffic, and using the famous Snort intrusion detection with the creation of new rules to detect and alert this traffic on campus and take steps to bypass this. The solution allowed us to have a bandwidth saturation reduction of 35%. |
