Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 10.1 of Junos OS.

Description

Sometimes there is a need to identify multiple different applications running on the same Layer 7 protocols. For example, both Facebook and Yahoo Messenger can run over HTTP, but there is a need to identify them as two different applications. To do this, the application layer is split into two layers: Layer 7 applications and Layer 7 protocols. This function is turned on by default. Use the no-nested-application-identification statement to turn it off.
