Classification::Category

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.4.0
The Category interface enables you to work with attributes for categories. A category specifies a group of applications in classification, e.g. Web, P2P, Mail, Game, etc. Based on categories, the classification engine can classify traffic to different groups. There are predefined categories like Web etc. as well as categories created by users; the system uses predefined categories for default classification, while iRules need to be used for the categories created by users.
