P2P: Ares Galaxy Peer Connection (TCP)
This signature detects a connection between peers using the Ares Galaxy file sharing system. File sharing can be a violation of your organization's acceptable use policy. This signature significantly impacts IDP performance and should be used only on a policy inspecting a WAN link and only if you suspect Ares Galaxy usage within your network. Note that both the TCP and UDP versions of Ares signature must be in your policy to effectively block Ares.
