Skype 3.0 was released in beta on November 9 and according to Klaus Degner, chief software architect of ipoque, "Changes in the Skype 3.0 client probably have been made as an answer to detection mechanisms recently implemented by various vendors...[and] the announced stable release of this new version will attract many Skype users - both in private and business environments." ipoque says it has updated its PRX traffic managers and they are now capable of detecting and - if necessary - blocking the latest Skype version. According to ipoque its PRX traffic managers operate as transparent bridges and are easy to integrate in existing network infrastructures without configuration changes. "Based on its layer 7 deep packet inspection technology, ipoque offers its customers control over applications that are beyond the reach of legacy firewalls and undesired or even dangerous in the corporate network," the company claims.{moscomment}
