Hi Tom,
Well the chap asking for Skype is the general manager, so I'm sure the
AUP can be altered if necessary. I was concerned about the actual p2p
aspect of it, when its idle, is there any background traffic? Also, how
reliable is the program when just running on port 80?
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Jason,
I use Skype because its pretty firewall friendly. I understand
your reluctance because of the developers less than pristine past, but
the app is pretty standard VoIP and the nice thing is that its not SIP
dependent, so you don't need an ALG to support it. I don't think it
works in Web Proxy mode, but it will use TCP 80 is that's the only port
you want to allow. Does your corporate network use policy allow VoIP
communications over the Internet?
HTH,
Tom

Hi Chaps,
Someone is trying to make a case for using Skype on our
network....now my instincts tell me that a program designed by the same
people who brought us Kazaa can't be all that healthy for a corporate
environment. So I'm inclined to not allow it (or at least not support
it).
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the use of
software like this?
Cheers,
Jason
P.S.
We currently have an ISA 2004 edge firewall configuration
