A content filtering system and method includes receiving in a network device in a network from a user device, a user selected set of rules identifying a set of URLs to be blocked. The set of rules are loaded into the network device. The network device receives from the user device a request to access a specified URL. A determination is made at the network device whether the specified URL is in the user selected set of rules. If the specified URL is in the user selected set of rules, then the specified URL is blocked.

In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for varying the aggregation periods for data flows relative to the values of the data contained in the flows. For instance, in one example, a method includes intercepting a first flow and a second flow traversing a communications network, assigning a first value to the first flow and a second value to the second flow, wherein the first value is higher than the second value, aggregating the first flow into a first database record according to a first aggregation period, aggregating the second flow into a second database record according to a second aggregation period that is longer than the first aggregation period, and storing the first database record and the second database record in a database.
