SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO FILTER OUT NOISY APPLICATION SIGNATURES TO IMPROVE PRECISION OF FIRST PACKET APPLICATION CLASSIFICATION

摘要

The system and methods discussed herein provide for filtering out noisy application signatures to improve the precision of first packet application classification. In some implementations, the system receive application signatures from devices along with their network identifiers. Based upon the frequency at which identical application signatures appear as originating from distinct network environments, the system determines the validity of application signatures and avoids storing irrelevant information for routing network traffic.
