Bittorrent traffic classification
نویسنده
چکیده
Bittorrent currently makes up a large proportion of Internet traffic. The main purpose of my project is to attempt to identify Bittorrent traffic from other kinds of traffic (with particular emphasis on FTP which provides similar functionality to BitTorrent in that it is primarily used for large file downloads) using statistical classification techniques. I will show that Bittorrent traffic can be identified efficiently and my method has great potential to classify Bittorrent in real time. KeywordsBittorrent, ftp, other, traffic, flow, subflow

Graph Based Classification of Content and Users in BitTorrent
P2P downloads still represent a large portion of today’s Internet traffic. More than 100 million users operate BitTorrent and generate more than 30% of the total Internet traffic [7]. Recently, a significant research effort has been done to develop tools for automatic classification of Internet traffic by application [9, 8, 11]. The purpose of the present work is to provide a framework for subc...
متن کاملUsing Proximity Information between BitTorrent Peers: An Extensive Study of Effects on Internet Traffic Distribution
Peer-to-Peer file sharing generates by far the most Internet traffic reaching up to 70 % in some regions of the world. These data volumes pose a significant challenge to Internet Service Providers regarding traffic engineering. Because Peer-to-Peer routing is usually agnostic of the underlying topology, traffic engineering abilities of Internet Service Providers are inhibited and their core net...
متن کاملTraffic analyzer for differentiating BitTorrent handshake failures from port-scans
This paper aims to improve the accuracy of port-scan detectors by analyzing traffic of BitTorrent hosts and differentiating their respective BitTorrent connection (attempts) from port-scans. It is shown that by looking at BitTorrent coordination traffic and modelling port-scanning behavior the number of BitTorrent-related false positives can be reduced by 80% without any loss of IDS accuracy.

Network traffic classification has become significantly important with rapid growth of current Internet network and online applications. There have been numerous studies on this topic which have led to many different approaches. Most of these approaches use predefined features extracted by an expert in order to classify network traffic. In contrast, in this study, we propose a deep learning bas...
متن کاملLatency-driven BitTorrent
In recent years BitTorrent has become a notorious contributor to Internet traffic. Not only is BitTorrent responsible for over one third of all Internet traffic, but an immoderate amount of it is expensive cross-ISP or even inter-continental traffic. Much of BitTorrent’s long-distance traffic is due to its random selection of peers, which can cause connected peers to be at very different locati...
