Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system, and computer readable medium for classifying network traffic based on application signatures generated during a training phase. The application signatures are generated using (a) seeding flows obtained from a network trace based on a pre-determined selection criterion, and (b) for each seeding flow, a seeded flow group that is obtained from the network trace based on a pre-determined seeding criterion associated with the seeding flow. Specifically, persistent data patterns frequently occurring across multiple seeded flow groups are analyzed to generate the signatures.
