Hi Hany,
I found your Blog is very interested and useful as we are here
in Sudan facing same issues regarding the web-filtering solutions and using the
bluecoat as well.
I will contact you in the next days to know more about the WireFilter.
Regards,
Samah

Subject: Re: [menog] Internet Service Blocking and Filtering
Hi Richard,
thanks for sharing the document, my comment is only on the "network based
blocking" :
1. In some cases the intermediary is totally transparent in the network but it
needs to give a message to the end-point that the resource is blocked which
complicate the protocol. however it is possible and was done on large scale
2. there is symmetric and asymmetric filtering techniques. up to my
knowledge the asymmetric filtering technique is less complex and can be used on
large scale ISP. please see my blog about "Internet filtering in Saudi Arabia"

I will read the remaining and feed you back if i have any comment
Best Regards,
Hany

Dear colleagues,
I've been working with the Internet Architecture Board on a document that
describes technical considerations regarding the blocking and filtering
Internet services. Since I know there are several experts on the topic in this
community, I thought I would forward it in case anyone had comments.
The document can be found at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-filtering-considerations-04
Abstract:
The Internet is structured to be an open communications medium. This
openness is one of the key underpinnings of Internet innovation, but
it can also allow communications that may be viewed as undesirable by
certain parties. Thus, as the Internet has grown, so have mechanisms
to limit the extent and impact of abusive or objectionable
communications. Recently, there has been an increasing emphasis on
"blocking" and "filtering," the active prevention of such
communications. This document examines several technical approaches
to Internet blocking and filtering in terms of their alignment with
the overall Internet architecture. In general, the approach to
blocking and filtering that is most coherent with the Internet
architecture is to inform endpoints about potentially undesirable
services, so that the communicants can avoid engaging in abusive or
objectionable communications.
Please send feedback to me, the co-editors (on the CC), or the IAB
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, who will be ultimately responsible for
publication or not).
Thank you very much,
--Richard
