Hello Nabeel
You can always use QoS devices such as ALLOT to detect the traffic and analyze it in a way to show you P2P / Games / IM and more, but If you
Wish to use a freeware and such you can use ethereal to sniff the data
And then to analyze it, to implement ethereal you will need a port monitor
On a switched network to see all traffic passing in the segment you wish to
Monitor, if you wish a solution that's not freeware, try Sniffer Pro, there are much more tools but those the ones I use.

Thanks

Subject: How to detect the IPs of users who are using IM and P2P programs

Dear All,

Is there any tool/method that allow me to detect the IPs of users who are using IM (Instant Messaging i.e. MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, ICQ, etc) and P2P (Peer-2-Peer programs such Kazaa) in our network?
 
Thanks
