Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol finds users with files other users want and then downloads pieces of the files from those users simultaneously. Consequently, transmission rates are faster than with http and ftp, which both download files sequentially from only one source.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deep packet inspection (DPI) tools use packet capture to look at what data is moving around your network. Most can detect BitTorrent by looking for specific things in packet headers and payloads. Systems which are used to throttle bandwidth use employ similar techniques for identifying its presence.
