Lee, We have been doing AVC for a few years now to drop P2P. We are doing it on a ASR1k though not the WLC. We used to use a SCE engine to do it which is where the AVC/NBAR2 stuff came from. We find we don't need to update protocol packs that often.

HI Lee, Getting it humming this month – on a pair of ASR 1006 Routers (sorry not in Wireless). We have Prime Infrastructure (2.1) managing it. We removed our Anagrans this summer to move to this. We just upgraded ASR this AM to support it. Will let you know in a month. I am scheduled to talk/present @ WestNet about our experiences in January. Signatures = Protocol Packs. You can update them without rebooting the router.

We are "using" Cisco's WLAN application visibility, but doing little with it beyond the occasional looking in. Elsewhere, we use Palo Alto boxes to shape traffic, but are interested in getting the controllers more involved in a prod role. Is anyone relying on AVC to drop traffic like P2P in prod? Is it working well for you? How often do you find signature updates available? Any other thoughts/comments on experiences, successes, or frustrations with using AVC for real- especially on large networks? Thanks- Lee Badman Lee H.
