Abstract
In certain embodiments, a network edge device comprises a memory storage, a networking component configured to communicate with a mobile device and a database comprising application attributes, and a processor. The processor, in certain embodiments, is located within the network edge device and is operable to receive application traffic from the mobile device (the application traffic being associated with an application), classify the application traffic by associating the application traffic with an application ID, and send a query comprising the application ID to the database comprising application attributes. In addition, the processor, in certain embodiments, is operable to receive a response, from the database comprising application attributes, comprising one or more application attributes associated with the application, wherein the response is based in part on the application ID, and to enforce a policy based in part on the application attribute.
