Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: inspecting at least one first frame of a first data flow by a general processing unit; associating the first data flow with an aggregate session, the aggregate session corresponding to a first set of aggregate data flows including the first data flow and at least one other data flow in addition to the first data flow; causing a measurement of traffic of the first data flow to be tracked in a first aggregate object data record for the first set of aggregate data flows, wherein traffic of the at least one other data flow is to also be recorded in the first aggregate object data record; authorizing acceleration of the first data flow by a network processing unit based, at least in part, on the inspection of the at least one first frame, wherein acceleration of the first data flow is subject to at least a set of conditions including an aggregate trigger, the aggregate trigger defining that the acceleration of at least the first data flow be halted in response to an aggregate threshold amount of traffic being detected among the first set of aggregate data flows from information in the first aggregate object data record.
