This section defines some IDP terms used in the ZyWALL. See the appendices for more detailed
information on IDP term definitions. The following are both the pre-defined (not editable) and user-
defined signature categories (you may refer to these policy categories when categorizing your own
user-defined rules.
6.3.1 P2P
Peer-to-peer (P2P) is where computing devices link directly to each other and can directly initiate
communication with each other; they do not need an intermediary. A device can be both the client and
the server. In the ZyWALL, P2P refers to peer-to-peer applications such as e-Mule, e-Donkey,
BitTorrent, iMesh etc. To find a list of all peer-to-peer signatures supported by the ZyWALL, do a
policy search by name (P2P) or policy query by type (P2P). The following screen shows some P2P
signatures supported by the ZyWALL at the time of writing.
