Layer 7

[brianc69]

What happen to the layer 7 support? I have an open mesh unit that displays layer 7 traffic for wireless. It's pretty cool to see the graph and what's happening on the wifi network. I was searching pfSense and found references to layer 7 for traffic shaping. Not sure how they compare but I can't find it in 2.3

• Layer 7 classification support has been removed from the traffic shaper.
        * It was rarely used, had been broken for all of 2.2.x, had absurdly high CPU usage, and snort filters better/faster

OpenAppID in snort should be integrated with rules. Some Snort API to add to aliases or something like that.
