For press release

9/10/03

A team of senior students from the University of Colorado Computer Science Department and APconnections are jointly working together to develop a "pattern discovery tool". This will be a user friendly tool to discover and refine new layer 7 patterns on an open network. The completion will be spring 2004.

Layer 7 , or application patterns are the signature patterns of application such as Kazaa, Winmx , and many others that typically tunnel through HTTP. Once you know the "pattern" you can firewall or shpe off the application as desired. With the explosion of various gaming and file sharing application on the Internet and no end in site, pattern discovery has typically been the territory of the more expensive equipment makers and their laboratories.

Note: APconnections currently has an open source mini howto detailing a method to do pattern discovery; but it is not exactly "turn key". So stay tuned for access to this new tool. It is not clear as to whether the tool will be GPL'd but we will certainly share patterns as our policy.
