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

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.
