With release 23.10, Forward Enterprise Path API /api/networks/{networkId}/paths accepts optional Layer 7 attributes, specifically appId, userId, userGroupId, and url. When the value is unrecognized by the system, the system falls back into the classic Layer 2 to Layer 4 analysis. The most commonly used attribute is the appId because it is often found in the policies configured on newer nextgen firewalls. To support our users, 23.10 introduces also an "applications" API which lists known Layer 7 app-ids with their ports and protocols: /api/applications.
