Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic manager apparatuses, and systems includes receiving a plurality of network packets. Metadata comprising state information for the received plurality of network packets is generated. The generated metadata is inserted into the received plurality of network packets or a cloned version of the plurality of network packets. A network diagnostic operation is performed on the received plurality of network packets based on the inserted metadata into the received plurality of network packets or the cloned version of the plurality of network packets.

Methods for managing insertion of metadata into a data stream to assist with analysis of network traffic and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic manager apparatuses, and systems that assist with optimizing selection from hardware security servers includes receiving data from candidate hardware security servers after sending an operation status request or a capability query to the candidate hardware security servers. The hardware security requirements can comprise of one or more server operation rules. Then, generating compliance scores for the candidate hardware security servers based on hardware security server requirements, built-in hardware security server requirements, and received data from the candidate hardware security servers. The method can then include generating a rank for the candidate hardware security servers based on the compliance scores of the candidate hardware security servers and providing the hardware security server recommendation for one of the candidate hardware security servers to the client based on the generated rank of the candidate hardware security servers with compliance scores above a predetermined threshold.

Methods for optimizing selection of a hardware security server and devices thereof

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and device that assists with managing L7 network classification includes receiving a request to access a service by a mobile computing device. Next, application layer network traffic from the requesting mobile computing device is classified based on mobile data associated with the requesting mobile computing device. One or more actions are performed based on the classification.
