27. A method, comprising:
-
extracting, by one or more network devices, a signature from a communication that is received from a client device; identifying, by the one or more network devices and based on the extracted signature, a particular application; storing, by the one or more network devices and upon identifying the particular application; additional information, associated with the communication, and an indication that the additional information is associated with the particular application; determining, by the one or more network devices, that a subsequent communication is associated with the particular application, where the determining is based on; information associated with the subsequent communication, the stored additional information, and the indication that the stored additional information is associated with the particular application. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
