IM / P2P Blocking
IM, short for Instant Message, is client software that allows users to communicate & exchange text messages with
other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer- to-peer, is a group of users who share
files with each other over the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster
and easier but your network may become increasingly insecure. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users by
restricting LAN PCs from accessing the commonly used IM (Yahoo and MSN), and P2P (BitTorrent and eDonkey)
applications over the Internet.
