Systems and methods are disclosed for application identification and dynamic signature generation for managing network communication systems. Communication sessions and related packet flows are monitored within a network communication system. Application level information is extracted from session packets by unpacking one or more communication protocols associated with the network packets to obtain application level information encapsulated within the network packets. The extracted application level information is compared to a database of known application signatures in order to identify known applications. For unknown applications, the application level information is used to generate new dynamic application signatures. The application level information can also be used to identify and access external network-accessible resources to obtain additional identification information for the unknown application. Identification information for the newly detected application can then be provided to a user along with flow control options for the newly detected application.

Application identification and dynamic signature generation for managing network communications

An automated method for analyzing a plurality of network messages received by a network testing device is disclosed. The method may comprise, during a current window of time, receiving from a target network device a network message associated with an original network message determining a latency value for the received network message comparing the determined latency value with the threshold latency value; and incrementing either the first counter or the second counter based on the comparison of the determined latency value with a threshold latency value. The method may further comprise, at the end of the current window of time, storing the first and second counter values resulting from the analysis of the plurality of original network messages.

Dynamic latency analysis system

A method is provided for managing the execution of tasks by a system having multiple processors, each having multiple types of resources. The method may include receiving from a user a task configuration specifying one or more performance parameters for a proposed task, automatically determining for each type of resource a quantity of that resource corresponding to the performance parameters for the proposed task, automatically determining for each processor a quantity of each type of resource available to that processor, automatically comparing for processor (a) the quantity of each type of resource available to that processor with (b) the quantity of each type of resource corresponding to the performance parameters for the proposed task, automatically determining based on the comparisons whether any processor has capacity to perform the proposed task, and automatically determining whether to perform the proposed task based at least on whether any processor has capacity to perform the task.
