Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receive network traffic data from a first data stream, wherein the first data stream transmits media encoded by a first encoder;
analyze video data extracted from the network traffic data to identify a data pattern associated with encoder functionality;
generate a first template for the first data stream, the template is based upon the data pattern associated with the encoder functionality, wherein the template generated for the first encoder is the same for the first encoder regardless of the content encoded by the first encoder;
compare the first template for the first data stream to a plurality of templates associated with a plurality of data streams;
identify a second data stream having a second template that matches the first template;
after identifying the second data stream, identify a first media content transmitted via the first data stream;
monitor the second data stream to identify second media content transmitted via the second data stream, wherein the first media content and the second media content are the same;
compare the first media content and the second media content;
based upon the comparison, determine the first media content and the second media content was encoded by the first encoder; and
tag the first data stream and the second data stream as originating from a single source.
