Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing packet flow based on content signatures are disclosed. A process of netflow management, in one embodiment, is able to receive a packet flow traveling through a communications network and obtain a signature from the packet flow. Upon retrieving a predefined signature from storage in accordance with the signature, the signature and the predefined signature are compared. A message of unauthorized distribution associated with the packet flow is issued when bit pattern of the signature matches with bit pattern of the predefined signature.
