METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING APPLICATIONS ACCESSING HTTP BASED CONTENT IN IP DATA NETWORKS

摘要

The present relates to a method and a system for identifying applications accessing HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) based content in IP data networks. The method and system collects, by means of at least one collecting entity, real time data from IP data traffic occurring in an IP data network. The method and system extracts information from the collected real time data, the information comprising parameters related to an application accessing HTTP based content in the IP data network. And, the method and system transmits the information from the at least one collecting entity to an analytic system. The method and system further processes the information, at the analytic system. The processing comprises: analyzing the parameters related to an application accessing HTTP based content to identify the application.
