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 system and computer-implemented method to process bidirectional network traffic having encrypted application data and using an encrypted transport protocol. The method includes estimating a size of encrypted application data in respective packets of the bidirectional network traffic, wherein the packets of the bidirectional network traffic are transported in opposing directions. The method further includes assigning timing criteria to respective application packets transported in the opposing directions that were determined to include a threshold amount of encrypted application data, the timing criteria being based on a time of observation at an observation point of the corresponding application packet, and acknowledging, for respective packets of the application packets, selected application packets that were selected based on the timing criteria assigned to the respective application packets.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transcoding from an input media stream to an output media stream, wherein the input media stream and the output media stream are in an indexed file format. The methods and systems are capable of generating an efficiently coded media file where the movie box is generated and sent before transcoding is complete, while maintaining acceptable and consistent quality throughout and minimizing the total size of the file.
