No, there's no direct port blocking involved because P2P can work on all ports.
As such, the F5 BigIP identifies the packets themselves with the p2p protocol in them and blocks the packets themselves that are identified as P2P.
This way, the only torrent traffic that may get through is the kind running inside a VPN. Even then though, we can identify encrypted torrents by other means (Deep Flow Inspection, trace the VPN traffic or directly monitor the student machines that are owned by the university).
Lets see, between its introduction in 1892 to its discontinuation in 2019 we can safely derive a global sales average of $273 million per year (accounted for inflation).
2019-1892 = 127 years * $273 = $34.67 Billion.
$966m penalty equates to a 3% deficit to its overall worldwide sales over the lifetime of the product. IE: Nothing.
So much winning!
