Layer 7 application

[sjlee1]

I have an inquiry while operating the network. The customer doesn't have any symptoms on the wire, but the wireless internet is very unstable, so we're checking it.

In wireless firewall settings, there is a Peer-to-peer blocking rule in the Layer 7 [Block applications and content categories] - [Layer 7 firewall rules] menu, does this blocking also include DNS request communication?

If anyone knows, please share it.

Thank you,

Best Regards.

Hi @sjlee1 - that L7 rule does not block Peer to Peer.

by unstable what is happening?

Thank you for reply.

We resolved it. Our sites is proceeding migration DNS server from legacy to AWS.

According to this, It was issue about DNS and we changed DNS server.

now is stable.

Thank you,

Best Regards.

Thank you for reply.

It was DNS issue in our sites (IDC -> AWS).
