Filtering out streaming

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 30 Jun 2005

Q:
We have Border Manager 3.5 as proxy. How can I filter out online audio and video streaming?

A:
In general, the default packet filters don't allow video and audio streaming, unless they're using http as protocol. In that case, there isn't much to do other than blocking the audio/video extensions with the access rules.
