Overview<br />

IM, P2P & VoIP<br />

The FortiOS system <strong>com</strong>es with an impressive list of supported IM/P2P protocols<br />

and can be kept up-to-date with upgrades available for download from the Fortinet<br />

Distribution Network. There is no need to wait for firmware upgrade to stay ahead<br />

of the latest protocols. FortiOS also provides ways for you to deal with unknown<br />

protocols even before upgrades are available.<br />

Table 43 on page 460 lists the IM/P2P applications that are currently recognized<br />

by FortiOS. The table includes the decoders, the applications associated with the<br />

decoders and the location of the decoders in the <strong>FortiGate</strong> interface.<br />

Note: Applications in Table 43 on page 460 marked as bold can connect to multiple P2P<br />

networks. Turning on IM and P2P decoders and signatures will help improve IPS<br />

performance. For example, if you want to use IPS, but you do not want to block IM or P2P<br />

applications, you should leave IM/P2P decoders and signatures enabled. Normally, if you<br />

turn off other signatures, the performance will be better, but for IM/P2P, it's the opposite.<br />
