METHOD AND AN APPARATUS TO PERFORM MULTI-CONNECTION TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

摘要

A method and an apparatus to perform multi-connection traffic analysis and management are described. In one embodiment, the method includes analyzing data packets in the first data flow of a client application for a pattern of interest, where the client application communicates data using first and second data flows. In response to the method detecting a pattern of interest in the first data flow, the method identifies the second data flow and identifies a traffic policy for the second data flow. The method applies the identified traffic policy to the second data flow. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.
