IP Convergence: Beyond VoIP, Beyond Cost Savings

Good point Benjamin, you can always build a better mouse trap. The algorithm's these things use are pretty smart though...they look at look at the traffic pattern of the flow to identify the application, or type of application, so they might still catch it. To stick with the cat and mouse analogy, you can dress the mouse up as a cat, but if it moves like a mouse, smells like a mouse, and sounds like a mouse this cat is going to catch it.

Now if you made the mouse look like 1,000 little cockroaches, which would be analogous to making the transfers look like a big load of random and tiny transfers, that might be enough to fool it...I dunno, there might be something to that idea.
