Abstract
System, device, and method of differentiating between streaming live-video flows and streaming non-live-video flows. A system includes a Live-Video/Non-Live-Video detector unit, connected and operable between a core cellular network and an entry node of the Internet. It monitors data packets exchanged over the core cellular network and over the Internet between a User Equipment (UE) device and a destination device. It determines that a particular communication flow between the UE device and the destination device is a streaming video communication flow. It further determines whether that streaming video communication flow is either (i) a streaming Live-Video communication flow or (ii) a streaming Non-Live-Video communication flow. It then triggers pre-defined operations, or enforces a particular traffic management or steering or shaping or charging policy, upon reaching a determination that the streaming video communication flow is a streaming Live-Video communication flow and not a streaming Non-Live-Video communication flow.
