It would not be. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The ASA would not be doing this for a specific application. &nbsp; &nbsp;There is QOS where you can prioritize traffic based on known protocols or specific ports.... &nbsp;but if you don't have that setup, it wouldn't come into play. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
As a test, hop on that machine and see if you can get outbound. &nbsp; &nbsp;Make sure the local windows firewall or iptables isn't blocking outbound traffic (you can shut it down just for a quick test). &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
On the ASA, you can always have the host make an attempt then issue a SHOW LOGGING on the ASA. &nbsp;Any dropped packets will be listed along with a reason for the drop. &nbsp;<br />
