Patent ID: 8909733

Claim:
A system comprising: one or more central processing units (CPUs) and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more CPUs, the one or more memory devices, the one or more CPUs and one or more memory devices implementing— a data stream processor programmed to receive a first data stream consisting of first digital traffic on a network; the data stream processor further programmed to receive a second data stream consisting of second digital traffic on a network; the data stream processor further programmed to translate the first and second data streams to generate respective first and second processed data streams, commonality between the first and second processed data streams being greater than the commonality between the first and second data streams; and a comparator programmed to compare the first and second processed data streams and identify segments common to both the first and second processed data streams; wherein: the data stream processor is further programmed to execute at least one method to identify first and second samples selected from the first and second data streams, respectively; the data stream processor is further programmed to translate the first and second samples to generate the first and second processed data streams; the first and second samples are selected using load maps of executable software in the first and second data streams.
