METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLASSIFYING TRAFFIC

摘要

A method and system for classifying traffic in a communication network. The method comprises the steps of: capturing IP packets (35) from said communication network; profiling said captured packets (36) by assigning one vector to each of said captured packets (36) according to a set of determined characteristics; calculating a set of classification values for each of said profiled packets (37) according to its IP header information and its specific protocol header information; rewriting said captured packets' (35) headers, including said calculated classification values on an IP header.
