30.6.2 Policy Types

This section describes IDP policy types, also known as attack types, as categorized in the ZyWALL. You may refer to these types when categorizing your own custom rules.

Table 146 Policy Types

POLICY TYPE	DESCRIPTION
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.
IM	IM (Instant Messenger) refers to chat applications. Chat is real-time,
	text-based communication between two or more users via networks-
	connected computers. After you enter a chat (or chat room), any
	room member can type a message that will appear on the monitors of
	all the other participants.
SPAM	Spam is unsolicited “junk” e-mail sent to large numbers of people to
	promote products or services.
DoS/DDoS	The goal of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks is not to steal
	information, but to disable a device or network on the Internet.
	A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one in which multiple
	compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial
	of service for users of the targeted system.
