Im / P2P Blocking - Billion BiPAC 7404VNOX User Manual

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. 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.
