I having done this myself but in a shaping-policy, you can specify app-category and P2P is at the top of the list ID:2 at least with 6.0. Then you need to select the 64kbps shaper you created.

 

fgxxxx (root) # config firewall shaping-policy

fgxxxx (shaping-policy) # edit 0 new entry '0' added fgxxxx (0) # set app-category ? ID           Select Category ID 2            P2P 3            VoIP 5            Video/Audio 6            Proxy 7            Remote.Access 8            Game 12           General.Interest 15           Network.Service 17           Update 21           Email 22           Storage.Backup 23           Social.Media 25           Web.Client 26           Industrial 28           Collaboration 29           Business 30           Cloud.IT 31           Mobile

Hello

i have created traffic shaping policy and applied its working. My issue is i want restrict this by user profile. Now i applied to all. instead of all i want to apply by user group, while i am selecting user group it says that "entry not found"

Please find the attached screen shot for more info. Please note that i have created  users  in address group policy by mac address.

Are you using 6.2's MAC address-based policies? Then it might not be supported by shaping-policy yet. I haven't tried that yet, so ask somebody else who already experienced. Or just open a ticket at TAC, that might be the quickest and  surely most accurate.
