In an announcement presented on Market Wire, Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCSI) announced new software plug-ins that update the capabilities of its cloud-connected Blue Coat PacketShaper appliance.

The plug-ins were developed to discover, monitor, assess and control traffic from the latest versions of popular Chinese and Asian applications. PacketShaper appliances enable enterprises to control the bandwidth that applications consume at their Internet gateway points or across the Wide Area Network (WAN) to branch offices.
