Overview:

Most organizations view instant messaging and Peer-to-Peer file sharing (P2P) applications as frivolous consumers of expensive resources - employee time and network bandwidth. Furthermore, some P2P networks can act as a conduit for malicious software such as worms, offering an easy path around firewalls into an organization to compromise desktop computing resources. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(14)T introduced application inspection engines and granular inspection, two critical new features that allow Cisco IOS Firewall to control instant messaging and P2P applications on networks. This paper offers some sample configurations to use these features to monitor and block instant messaging and P2P file sharing traffic.
