ASA5520 block torrents and p2p traffic

[Umit AYDINLI]

I have an ASA5520 and AIP-SSM20, Cisco ASA5520 with 8.0 software. Is there anyway to block torrents and p2p traffic?

Hi,

The ASA itself can block certain p2p traffic using MPF (Modular Policy Framework).

If you have an IPS module even better.

There are several signatures that address bittorrent, 11031, 11030, 11020
