Packeteer has various patents covering tcp rate control and everything else
they do, including the "idea" to look at upper layers to detect the
type
of traffic.
I live in germany so i don''t really care that much about their patents
(they had none
in europe last time i checked). last summer i started implementing tcp
rate control
as qdisc for linux. i haven''t worked on it for a couple of month now,
but if anyone wishes
to participate i would be glad to dig out my source again. it is
basically working, the
remaining problems are mostly how to detect and handle interactive traffic.
