Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 19:
20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 16, wherein to attempt to communicate with the at least some ports of the at least some network addresses using the plurality of different application-layer communication protocols, the program instructions further cause the one or more processors of the protocol inspection component of the continuous scanning engine to:
determine, for individual port and network address combinations, a probabilistic match of successful communication against individual ones of the plurality of application-layer communication protocols based at least in part on a port number of the individual port, and a transport layer protocol used by the one or more discovery components in communicating with the individual port and network address combination; and
attempt to communicate with the individual port and network address combinations using one or more of the plurality of application-layer communication protocols that has the highest probabilistic match of successful communication for that particular the individual port and network address combination.
