Top 5 Categories = 76% of the Bandwidth
Peel away the corporate usage. Roughly a quarter of your bandwidth $$$
is video and filesharing…

Users Like to Watch Video
13% of total bandwidth is video/photo traffic. 107 variants found; an
average of 34 in 97% of the organizations. A fraction of it is corporate use.

the organizations.

The Filesharing Traffic Port-based Firewalls Miss
Nearly 15% of filesharing is invisible to firewalls. Application control means
all apps, all ports, all the time.

Browser-Based Filesharing Use Cases Solidify…
Work vs. entertainment? Megaupload traffic went to Putlocker, Rapidshare,
others. P2P crushes BBFS in total BW consumed.

Which Ports do Applications Really Use?
The common perception is that Port 80 (tcp/80) is where all the traffic and
all the problems are. Port 80 security is a requirement; but too much focus
is shortsighted.
