A system architecture and methods for data traffic flow classification are provided. An initial traffic class is assigned to a data flow as a current traffic classification, where the initial traffic class is based static traffic classification method(s) applied with respect to an initial packet of the data flow. A predetermined number of further packets of the data flow, subsequent to the initial packet, are analyzed based on predetermined factor(s), and a traffic class based on the analysis of the further packets is determined. The traffic class based on the analysis of the further packets is assigned as the current traffic classification of the data flow. Data indicating a traffic class for the data flow (based on a dynamic traffic classification method) is received, and the traffic class based on the dynamic traffic classification method is assigned as the current traffic classification of the data flow.
