7.4.5 IM/P2P Blocking
IM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows
users to communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time
over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer
users who share file to specific groups of people across the Internet. Both Instant
Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and easier but
your network can become increasingly insecure at the same time. Billion's IM and P2P
blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access to the commonly used IM, Yahoo
and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet.
