Peer-to-Peer:
P2P Blocking
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) involves communication between computing devices—desktops,
servers, and other smart devices—that are linked directly to
each other. Using this feature of the Web Filter, groups and/or individual
client machines can be set up to block P2P services specified in
the library category. (See Blocked
IM and P2P Clients and Services for details on blocked
P2P components and features.)
How P2P Works
When the P2P module is loaded on the server, the Web Filter compares
packets on the network with the P2P library stored on the Web Filter
server. If a match is found, the Web Filter checks the user’s profile
to see whether the user’s connection to the P2P service should
be blocked, and then performs the appropriate action.
