ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is described to select a representative signature for use in identifying content in a packet stream. The method may comprise receiving the packet stream and obtaining content from a data payload of the packet. Thereafter, a plurality of signatures is identified from the content and a complexity score or a frequency score is determined based on the content. A signature of the plurality of signatures is then selected as the representative signature based on the complexity score or the frequency score.
