Abstract: A method and system for classifying a device accessing a computer network. The method including: determining fields of interest that are indicators for classifying the device; reviewing a network traffic flow associated with the device; extracting field/parameter values from a packet associated with the network traffic flow; comparing the extracted field/parameter values with values of the fields of interest to determine at least one device attribute; and classifying the device associated with the network traffic flow based on the comparison. The header fields/parameters may include application name and/or fields/parameters available in a TLS header. The system includes a processor, memory, and software modules and engines that implement the method above.

Abstract: A method for managing Quality of Experience (QoE) for video streaming traffic flow on a network, the method including: collecting data associated with a plurality of video streaming traffic flows; creating a model based on the collected data; determining factors associated with a new video streaming traffic flow; analyzing the factors based on the model; determining a QoE score based on the analysis. A system for managing QoE for video streaming traffic flow on a network, the system including: a factor determination module configured to collect data associated with a plurality of video streaming traffic flows; a model module configured to create a model based on the collected data; an analysis module configured to determine factors associated with a new video streaming traffic flow and analyze the factors based on the model; and a QoE engine configured to determine a QoE score based on the analysis.

Abstract: A system and method for classifying application and content in a computer network. The method including: determining an application associated with a traffic flow; determining at least one type of content category associated with the application; reviewing packet parameters to determine the content category of the traffic flow; and monitoring the traffic flow for any changes to the packet parameters that would indicate a change in the content category of the traffic flow. The system including: an application module configured to determine an application associated with a traffic flow; a signature module, a heuristic module and a machine learning module configured to review packet parameters to determine a content category associated with the traffic flow and any changes to the content category associated with the traffic flow. A system and method for determining a confidence level of a classification of an application and content category of a traffic flow.
