1. A method for rapid filtering of opaque data traffic, the method comprising:
- receiving a packet containing a payload;
analyzing a portion of the payload for determining whether the packet contains compressed or encrypted data; and
performing, in response to determining that the packet contains compressed or encrypted data, at least one of sending the packet to an opaque traffic analysis engine for analysis, discarding the packet, logging the packet, or marking the packet.

22. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
-
receiving a packet containing a payload; analyzing a portion of the payload for determining whether the packet contains compressed or encrypted data; and performing, in response to determining that the packet contains compressed or encrypted data, at least one of sending the packet to an opaque traffic analysis engine for analysis, discarding the packet, logging the packet, or marking the packet.
