Abstract

See full text

In certain embodiments, a method comprises forming a cluster of peered network devices comprising a plurality of three or more peered network devices and a plurality of control information connections between pairs of the peered network devices. The method further comprises classifying a connection by associating the connection with an application, wherein a first peered network device associated with the cluster classifies the connection based at least in part on sequential payload packets associated with the connection, at least some of which the first device receives from other peered network devices associated with the cluster. The method also comprises sending control information over one of the control information connections between the first peered network device and a second peered network device associated with the cluster, wherein the control information comprises information regarding the classification of the connection.
