Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable medium and a method for session based classification. The method may include detecting an initialization of a certain TCP connection; defining the certain TCP connection as an active TCP connection; receiving, by a classifier, an incoming packet that belongs to a session that involves conveying a media asset using a HTTP as an application layer protocol; determining, by the classifier, whether the incoming packet belongs to the certain active TCP connection or not; and if it is determined that the incoming packet belongs to the certain active TCP connection then classifying the incoming to a session that is associated with the certain active TCP connection based upon a mapping between sessions and active TCP connections.
