Interesting to know.  I don't suspect that Kapil was wrong/lying, so I assume that there is some kind of mechanism to stop an unwanted stream after not too terribly long.  TV channels are going to be significantly lower bandwidth though, so it probably didn't matter nearly as much as these video-over-IP streams which can practically saturate a 1 Gbps link with 1 stream.   But when there are 2 different large video-over-IP manufacturers and also community members seeing issues, it would be an awfully unstable limb for me to go out on myself.  Extron actually advised against using their products with Meraki switches, whereas Crestron notes that they have some installations but that there can be some suboptimal experiences.  So I was hoping that maybe Meraki might say that Extron and Crestron just had suboptimal switch configurations, and actually MS switches are  in fact documented and tested as immediately stopping a stream when no longer wanted.   Either way, thanks for your input. ...

The ability to block statistical P2P (NBAR 1889) as a category was disabled before the Holidays in 2022 as I noted in this response: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/MX-NBAR-blocking-Statistical-Peer-to-peer-traffi/m-p/179500/highlight/true#M42349 This includes removing it from all aggregate or "All X" rules it may have been a part of ...

I'm also interested in a real response as to why this would be difficult to implement or why the mdns client name is some kind of benefit to me.   This design limitation really wrecks the "at-a-glance" nature of the interface. ... View more

I've tried to troubleshoot some of these and didn't make the connection but in hindsight, I do remember iPhones being the devices linked to these. That's good stuff to know!    Thanks! ... View more

I wanted to bypass the splash page for a wired client on an MX as well, and came across this thread.  I don't see anything newer, so I submitted a "wish". ... View more

Thanks.  Blocking access to all private address space is definitely more elegant than what I was thinking.  It would still be better if it was possible to directly allow traffic to just the internet/uplink, but this can work. ... View more
