GENERATING AN APPLICATION-BASED PROXY AUTO CONFIGURATION

Abstract:

A network device may identify an application signature associated with a web application, and may determine, based on an application-based policy associated with the web application, an access method to be used to transmit traffic associated with the web application. The network device may generate a proxy auto configuration (PAC) file using the application signature associated with the web application, and the access method to be used to transmit the traffic associated with the web application. The network device may provide the PAC file to a client device to permit the client device to transmit the traffic associated with the web application based on the PAC file.
