Quoting Matt Jonkman (mjonkman@infotex.com):
What these vendors may be doing it trying to block access to centralized
login or directory servers by known IP ranges... I don't know if that'll
be completely effective.


If I understand the protocol correctly, central servers are contacted only on a 
first run
(after install). I(D|P)S systems can have sigs with IP addresses of those 
servers, but if user X installs Skype client on his corp. laptop at home... it 
doesn't help much.
