As the classification is done by the internal DPI engine, it is updated with newer AOS versions. It is easiest to fetch this directly from an IAP with the version you are running using the following commands:
#show dpi appcategory all
Pre-defined Application Categories
----------------------------------
Name App Category ID
---- ---------------
antivirus 1
authentication 2
behavioral 3
cloud-file-storage 4
collaboration 5
encrypted 6
enterprise-apps 7
gaming 8
im-file-transfer 9
instant-messaging 10
mail-protocols 11
mobile-app-store 12
network-service 13
peer-to-peer 14
social-networking 15
standard 16
streaming 17
thin-client 18
tunneling 19
unified-communications 20
web 21
webmail 22
mobile 23
Total application categories = 23
This will give you a list of all pre-defined application categories. You can then individually query each category for the applications contained within
# show dpi appcategory streaming

Total applications in this category = 154
Lastly you query the particular app you are interested in to see what the classification defaults to:
# show dpi app 050plus
Pre-defined Application
-----------------------
Name App ID App Category Default Ports
---- ------ ------------ -------------
050plus 1123 streaming tcp 80 443
The DPI engine does more than just look at ports but that is the closest I believe you get to the individual application classification. The rest is probably some "secret sauce" of the Aruba AppRF engine.
Some applications are adaptive in nature, therefore a few sessions might occasionally be wrongly classified. But overall the engine can classify over 3000 categories which way beyond what other vendors can claim and it works very well in real-world scenarios.
