Cloud server and method for application layer—independent accelerated triggering of events in a communication network

A method, comprising:

• in a cloud server:
• causing a first communication device to execute a frame-level inspection of a bit stream of a digital asset at a datalink layer of a network architecture of the first communication device to detect a defined signature associated with the digital asset;
• obtaining the defined signature from the first communication device,
• wherein the defined signature is associated with the digital asset at the first communication device;
• executing a search of the defined signature in a main action database;
• validating the defined signature based on the execution of the search of the defined signature in the main action database;
• determining that a copyright check is required for the digital asset associated with the defined signature;
• executing a resemblance search of the digital asset in a copyright database based on the determination that the copyright check is required;
• determining one of an occurrence of a copyright violation for the digital asset or an absence of the copyright violation for the digital asset based on the execution of the resemblance search of the digital asset in the copyright database, wherein the copyright database is accessible by the cloud server;
• and
• interrupting, based on the validation of the defined signature and the occurrence of the copyright violation, consumption of one or more data packets of the digital asset at the datalink layer and a wire speed, prior to exposure of the one or more data packets to an application layer of the first communication device.
