Is there any way to block P2P and torrent traffic?

Anychance you could expand...know nothing on the subject.

QoS - Quality of Service - throttles some types of traffic to ensure that the other types can get through. Useful for VoIP in call centres from my experience, as it ensures that voice traffic is not compromised by cutting back on data during busy periods.

As such, the suggestion is that you employ the "throttling" on the P2P and torrent traffic to such an extent that it becomes almost unusable.

How do I go about that? Given that dd-wrt can't identify P2P traffic to block it....how is it going to say this packet is p2p, put it below that packet in priority list?

Throttle the default torrent ports. Google will tell you them.
