L7 App Classification
Two hundred-plus application protocols classified on the same fast path — no separate lookup, no kernel socket detour.

HOW IT WORKS
Walk through a single flow
- 1Classification evaluates the first few packets of every new flow, or continues until the application is resolved.
- 2Every flow is tagged with an application identifier and a higher-level category.
- 3Policies and telemetry match against either axis.
- 4Encrypted-traffic heuristics preserve accuracy under QUIC and TLS 1.3.
UNDER THE HOOD
Technical notes
Why classify inline?
Bolt-on classifiers pay the cost of another socket copy for every packet. Inline classification keeps the fast path contiguous and lets policy act on application identity without any additional lookup.
