TippingPoint can detect Skype program downloads, Skype update requests,
and first time logins after fresh Skype installs.  AFAIK, they do not
have a way to detect arbitrary Skype traffic.

AFAIK there is _always_ the initial agent -> server 
communication before any calls. This is trivial to detect.

I've been researching for days and am having a hard time.  
I know that 
TippingPoint has a way of classifying (and blocking) Skype 
traffic but 
from what I hear they don't appear to be sharing the 
'secret sauce'. 
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
