Abstract: A system and method is provided for analyzing media traffic having encrypted application-layer and payload data. The method includes determining from network traffic a media service provided to a network subscriber, application-layer and payload data of the network traffic providing the media service to the network subscriber being encrypted, detecting media traffic within the network traffic providing the media service to the network subscriber, associating application-layer data of the media traffic to a media session, determining a key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the media session, and outputting report data based on the KPI.

Abstract: A device includes an interface to a media session comprising transmission of a stream of one or more media segments having unparseable media containers. The device further includes a bit rate estimation module coupled to the interface, the bit rate estimation module to estimate a bit rate for the media session based on a ratio of a first metric to a second metric, the first metric representing a sum of data lengths of the one or more media segments in the media session and the second metric representing a sum of playback durations of the one or more media segments.
