Offline/Realtime Traffic Classification Using Semi-Supervised Learning

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview Identifying and categorizing network traffic by application type is challenging because of the continued evolution of applications, especially of those with a desire to be undetectable. The diminished effectiveness of port-based identification and the overheads of deep packet inspection approaches motivate us to classify traffic by exploiting distinctive flow characteristics of applications when they communicate on a network. This paper explores this latter approach and proposes a semi-supervised classification method that can accommodate both known and unknown applications. To the best of one's knowledge, this is the first work to use semi-supervised learning techniques for the traffic classification problem.
