IM / P2P Blocking 
IM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows users to 
communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P 
application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer users who share file to specific groups of people 
across the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and 
easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same time. Billion’s IM and P2P 
blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access to the commonly used IM, Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, 
BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet.
