Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a system that comprises a network device, including at least a first port, which is configured to analyze information within one or more messages received during a session initiated by another network device. The system is configured to perform operations including determining a total number of sessions for the first port of the network device and determining whether the total number of sessions for the first port exceeds a threshold value. If the total number of sessions for the first port exceeds the threshold value, an application associated with the first port is classified as a peer-to-peer application. Thereafter, a policy may be enforced based on this classification.
