correct torrent traffic? #18

Closed rezad1393 closed 7 years ago

rezad1393 commented 7 years ago

how can I configure the setting to get correct torrent traffic? I have added the port set in deluge torrent client in nlbwmon but an small traffic is logged as deluge-tcp and most is counted as others. the port mapping I've put is "6 1803 deluge-tcp" "17 1803 deluge-udp" should I have put something else?

is there anyway to see the traffic that is counted as other in port ip protocol format? so that I can classify them easily?

You cannot classify torrent traffic by the means of port numbers.

rezad1393 commented 7 years ago

why? I have put the port number for it in torrent client are you telling me that torrent client connects on another port?

jow- commented 7 years ago

The port number is usually just used for control traffic. The actual peer to peer data transfers use random UDP ports for each connection.

cant I set that to be not random? in deluge I can set both incoming and outgoing port. EDIT: I have put the port for outgoing same as incoming (1803)and now it seems to work partially. the deluge-udp works but I still get a lot of other protocol that is almost half of deluge-udp.

maybe it is imortant to tell you that I run lede on my router/switch and it is bridged with a modem conning via adsl. maybe that is messing with the reading.

UPDATE: it is deluge fault I tested with rtorrent and that client uses the ports assigned (at least with the torrent I tested)

second update. nope. it seems even rtorrent traffic doesnt get counted
