Oh yes the blocking done by universities. Do you also know that you can get around that by using something like Socks2http and use a proxy.. Its a pain to get working but it works. Isps/universities blocking is a problem for all of P2P and isnt specific to just gnutella...
Packethound is software already in use at the University of Missouri (if not others).

It examines the contents of each packet and already has rules to identify and block Gnutella data. Once it see's a single packet with a pattern that matches GNet data, the connection to the remote computer is immediately dropped.
