Streaming Media filters

Streaming Media filters detect and control traffic from Streaming Media applications that deliver audio

and video content utilizing IP protocols, typically UDP. Because these streaming media applications

demand high bandwidth, the use of these applications can have a large negative impact on network

performance. These filters can be used to block the operation of the Instant Messaging application.

Many of the IM filters can also be used to rate limit traffic from IM applications. These filters are part

of the Performance Protection (see page 311) filter category.

Traffic Normalization filters

Filters that block network traffic when the traffic is considered malicious. These filters allow you to set

alerts to trigger when the system recognizes this traffic. Traffic pattern filters alert when network

traffic varies from normal. These filters are part of the Infrastructure Protection

filter category.

Threat Management Center (TMC)

A 3Com service center that monitors sensors around the world for the latest attack information and

builds and distributes attack filters. The TMC is available at the following URL: https://

tmc.tippingpoint.com

Threat Suppression Engine (TSE)

Blend of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and network processors that detect threats

and anomalies in your network traffic. The TSE scans and reacts to malicious attacks or anomolous

traffic based on the configuration of the IPS security profiles, traffic management and traffic

thresholds filters using the latest Digital Vaccine package updates.

Virus filters

Virus filters detect and block events triggered by viruses, worms, Trojans, backdoors, and other

blended malware threats. These filters are part of the Application Protection (see page 308) filter

category.

Vulnerabilities filters

Filters that detect any attempt to exploit a vulnerability in any application, operating system, or

networked hardware device. These filters determine whether a vulnerability exists based on traffic

requests and reaction by services. These filters are part of the Application Protection (see page 308)

filter category.
