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 a group of computer users who share les with specic
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 to restrict LAN PCs from accessing the commonly used IM
such as Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey applications over the Internet.
