1. A method for monitoring and managing video stream content comprising:
receiving a traffic flow;
determining if the traffic flow is a video streaming traffic flow;
if the traffic flow is a video streaming traffic flow;
determine at least one attribute associated with the video streaming traffic flow, wherein the at least one attribute comprises a channel name determined from a payload of a packet of the traffic flow;
determine a probability that the traffic flow is fraudulent based on a heuristic analysis of the channel name in comparison to a legitimate video streaming traffic flow channel name;
if the probability is above a predetermined threshold, flag the traffic flow as a fraudulent video streaming traffic flow, otherwise allow the traffic flow to proceed to its destination without being flagged;
if the traffic flow is not a video streaming traffic flow, allow the traffic flow to proceed to its destination.
