Traffic flow characterization

    Has any consideration been given to characterizing traffic flows using
    L5-7?

    Given that traffic samples are 100 bytes in length, is this enough data
    to use more than just L4 ports for identification?

    I suppose this would be a lot more expensive computation wise, but L4
    could be used to map a flow, and then payload could be used for
    confirmation. This would be very useful for identifying p2p apps, and
    anything that relies on >1024 ports.

    Any thoughts?
