The present disclosure is directed towards tracking application layer flow via a multi-connection intermediary. Transaction level or application layer information may be tracked via the intermediary, including one or more of: (i) the request method; (ii) response codes; (iii) URLs; (iv) HTTP cookies; (v) RTT of both ends of the transaction in a quad flow arrangement; (vi) server time to provide first byte of a communication; (vii) server time to provide the last byte of a communication; (viii) flow flags; or any other type and form of transaction level data may be captured, exported, and analyzed. The application layer flow or transaction level information may be provided in an IPFIX-compliant data record. This may be done to provide template-based data record definition, as well as providing data on an application or transaction level of granularity.
