block

I 'look after' the wireless internet for a cafe where I live, and we've noticed that there's quite a substantial slow down of internet speeds when certain users are playing internet poker.

I've put in filters to block any HTTP traffic referencing gambling and poker etc, however I want to be able to block any applications (i.e. poker clients) which don't use HTTP.

I've tried searching around for a list of poker clients and perhaps their ports, but have had no real luck.

Does anyone know what these might be?
