Enforce IGMP to
multicast addresses
Peer to Peer
SmartDefense can block peer-to-peer traffic, by identifying the proprietary
protocols and preventing the initial connection to the peer-to-peer networks. This
prevents not only downloads, but also search operations.
This category includes the following nodes:
• KaZaA
• Gnutella
•
eMule
• BitTorrent
Note: SmartDefense can detect peer-to-peer traffic regardless of the TCP port being
used to initiate the session.
