It adds some neat application defense features. For instance, let's say you want to block IM traffic. In R55 you can block known ports but if you allow other ports outbound the IM client can dyamically adjust itself to use any open port. R55W automagically inspects all ports. If you say to block IM or P2P, it will check all ports for that type of traffic.
There's also some paid-for additional HTTP protections.
We haven't gone to it because it disables Floodgate. Supposedly the next major release of the product will incorporate the "W" (with apologies to Democrats) features without disabling Floodgate.

I know what is NG AI R55, but what is the 'R55W'? Is this a newer version or a different animals?
Thanks.
