What are the advantages of NetSpectives Signature-Based Detection for P2P, IM, and streaming media traffic?
NetSpective’s unique technology filters P2P, IM, and streaming media traffic many other products miss. Most other P2P/IM and streaming media filters block a smaller number of traffic types or only filter the port numbers commonly used by this traffic. Unfortunately, the clients for these networks often detect the blocked port and reassign themselves to an unfiltered port. In contrast, P2PFilter is capable of controlling a wide range of problem traffic on virtually any port. It also provides superior reporting for monitoring allowed usage.
