Patent ID: 8072976

Claim:
A network device comprising: a plurality of packet switched interface circuits, a first of the plurality of packet switched interface circuits receives a segmented video packet; local storage comprising a first template and a second template representing different segments of a trigger template, the trigger template including an identifiable bit sequence corresponding to malware, the first template corresponding to a first portion of the trigger template, the second template corresponding to a second portion of the trigger template, the first template and the second template being related to compensate for segmentation of the segmented video packet; and processing circuitry, communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of packet switched interfaces and to the local storage, compares the segmented video packet with the first template and the second template and: based on a first comparison result, initiates malware detection processing operations; and based on a second comparison result, initiates forwarding of the segmented video packet via at least one of the plurality of packet switched interface circuits.
