1. A method of automated policy building, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a network traffic management device, network traffic, the received network traffic comprising network traffic from one or more applications;
collecting, by the network traffic management device, statistical data based on the received network traffic;
analyzing, by the network traffic management device, the collected statistical data based on the received network traffic, the analysis comprising learning network traffic usage by the one or more applications;
determining, by the network traffic management device, when the analyzed collected statistical data based on the received network traffic meets one or more threshold conditions for an existing policy;
modifying, by the network traffic management device, the existing policy to be applied to the received network traffic upon determining that the one or more threshold conditions for the received network traffic have been met, wherein the modification of the existing policy is based at least in part on the analysis of the network traffic usage by the one or more applications.

Abstract
A system, method and machine readable medium for automated policy building in a policy module of a network traffic management device is disclosed. Parsed network traffic data is received at a policy builder of a network traffic management device. The received network traffic data is analyzed in accordance with one or more threshold conditions specified by a user, via a user interface, for an existing policy. The existing policy is modified by the policy builder if the one or more threshold conditions for the network traffic have been met.

7. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions for automated policy building, comprising machine executable code which, when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
-
receive network traffic, the received network traffic comprising network traffic from one or more applications; collect statistical data based on the received network traffic; analyze the collected statistical data based on the received network traffic, the analysis comprising learning network traffic usage by the one or more applications; determine when the analyzed collected statistical data based on the received network traffic meets one or more threshold conditions for an existing policy; and modify the existing policy to be applied to the received network traffic upon determining that the one or more threshold conditions have been met, wherein the modification of the existing policy is based at least in part on the analysis of the network traffic usage by the one or more applications. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20)

13. A network traffic management device comprising:
-
a network interface configured to receive and transmit network traffic over one or more networks, wherein the network interface receives network traffic; a memory configured to store instructions for automated policy building in processor executable code; and a processor configured to execute the stored executable code which causes the processor to; receive the network traffic, the received network traffic comprising network traffic from one or more applications; collect statistical data based on the received network traffic; analyze the collected statistical data based on the received network traffic, the analysis comprising learning network traffic usage by the one or more applications; determine when the analyzed collected statistical data based on the received network traffic meets one or more threshold conditions for an existing policy; and modify the existing policy to be applied to the received network traffic upon determining that the one or more threshold conditions for the network traffic have been met, wherein the modification of the existing policy is based at least in part on the analysis of the network traffic usage by the one or more applications. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21)
