Packet Garden attempts to detect protocols on a port by port basis. Not all protocol types can be detected reliably (example: the default bittorrent ports are rarely used). All traffic however, whether identified or not, shapes the terrain.

The full list of ports PG filters for by default can be read here. To add your own ports to this list, see the file filter.config in the config folder of the PG install directory.

Examples of the plants generated on detection of these ports are shown below:
