Custom non-standard applications using peer-to-peer protocols within corporate environments are often not sanctioned, thus their network traffic patterns can be categorized as irregular. This is typically because peer-to-peer traffic in corporate networks is expected to follow known patterns related to approved business applications, so unusual traffic can indicate the use of unauthorized software or potential malicious activity.
