i am using a rather old router(2600). i dont think NBAR will be supported by this router but thanks for the insight.
It may well be supported, this depends on the IOS feature set.
actually the problem i was having was with my mails. they were taking too long download. i was wondering what was passing in my router.
i changed my clients mail protocal from POP to IMAP and the problem was solved.
anyboby with an explanation why IMAP is better than POP or what was going on exactly????
To the best of my knowledge, for POP the client downloads the entire message - including attachments. With IMAP, the client downloads the message headers and displays them in the inbox. When you select an particular message the contents are then downloaded. Messages are stored on the server, unless you transfer them to a local folder. Messaging gurus, I stand to be corrected. It's possible you just had one or more ultra-large attachment....worse, it might turn out to be junk. BR, S
