| Some applications like Peer-to-Peer and streaming audio/video are capable of hopping from port to port on a router or firewall, or "hide" via proxies or encrypted tunneling to avoid detection and filtering. Moreover, emerging network applications such as Skype are eluding detection by packet payload encryption or plain-text ciphers. Privacy legislation related to payload inspection is also a problem in this approach. BroadWeb has been focusing on the development of application-centric classification in order to increase visibility into user behaviors and control impacts of bandwidth-consuming applications. We’ve developed a unique identification technology –Layer7+ application ID to identify and classify all legitimate and productive traffic. Our signature database solution brings visibility of network applications and makes it simple to create and modify fine-grained control policies.
The Layer7+ application ID (so-called App-ID) identifies a great diversity of network applications and also meets the requirements of high performance by compact signature patterns. The App-ID database contains more than 800 different applications, and the number keeps increasing with the network changing every day. The App-ID Database is capable of applying to encrypted network flows, which allows you to distinguish users’ behaviors, for example, chatting, watching videos, or sending files.Accurate application traffic classification and identification are important for network monitoring and analysis, and then apply control mechanisms to the traffic according on role-based access control policy. With BroadWeb App-ID database, you'll get the expert signatures that will help you identify and eliminate weak points in your networks, safeguard your information, and keep unwanted traffic out!
The accurate identification of App-ID has capabilities:
- To identify 180 P2P applications and control the bandwidth-consuming data flows
- To classify 70 IM protocols
- To protect the valuable bandwidth by a wide range of traffic classification
