1. A method for managing a transfer of data between a first node and a second node in a data network, the method comprising:
- identifying data associated with a communication session between the first node and the second node;
identifying a signature associated with said data associated with said communication session;
further processing said communication session when a portion of said communication session meets a criterion; and
permitting said communication session to continue when said portion of said communication session does not meet said criterion.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing a transfer of data in a data network identifies data associated with a communication session between a first node and a second node in the data network. Further processing of the communication session occurs when a portion of the communication session meets a criterion and the communication session is permitted to continue when the portion of the communication session does not meet the criterion.
