Application Control can track application usage over time to monitor trends.
Usage may be tracked by AP, VLAN, or station. Many hundreds of applications
are recognized and grouped into a number of categories. The distributed
architecture of Xirrus APs allows Application Control to scale naturally as you
grow the network.
About Risk and Productivity
Application Control ranks applications in terms of their levels of risk and
productivity.
Productivity indicates how appropriate an application is for business purposes.
The higher the rating number, the more business-oriented an application is.
 1—Primarily recreational
 2—Mostly recreational
 3—Combination of business and recreational purposes
 4—Mainly used for business
 5—Primarily used for business
Risk indicates how likely an application is to pose a threat to the security of your
network. The higher the rating number, the more risky an application is.
 1—No threat
 2—Minimal threat
 3—Some risk - may be misused
 4—High risk - may be malware or allow data leaks
 5—Very high risk - threat circumvents firewalls or avoids detection
Keeping Application Control Current
Applications are recognized using a signature file which may be updated using
the System Tools page as new applications become popular (see “Application
Control Signature File Management” on page 420).
