| Summary: | Classification of network traffic based on conditions orthogonal to explicit attributes of packets in network traffic. In one implementation, classification of network traffic based on the behavior of one or more nodes associated with the network traffic. In one implementation, a mechanism is provided that allows for the creation of matching rule predicates that match to certain node behaviors of interest and cause the application of appropriate policies to the network traffic. In one implementation, the node behavior matching functionality can be combined to seamlessly operate in connection with other Layer 7 traffic classification mechanisms that operate on explicitly-presented attributes of the packets. |
