Early Identification of Elephant Flows in Internet Traffic
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is about analyzing internet traffic flows for early elephant flow detection. These elephant flows provoke problems in the quality of service of internet traffic. When we can detect these elephant flows in an earlier stage we can take actions against these flows to keep up the quality of service. With this in mind we create a method to quickly identify elephant flows in internet traffic. We describe in this paper our method which detects elephants flows by real-time packet analysis. By analyzing traces of two locations we explain the usefulness of our method by analysing the false positive ratio and the false negative ratio.

A novel Internet access service with online traffic engineering of elephant flows
Elephant flows, which are high-rate large-sized flows, can cause increased packet delays and losses in other flows. Large enterprises often upgrade their access links even before the load reaches a high level to avoid service degradations caused by elephant flows. This work proposes and demonstrates an alternative solution to access-link upgrades. The solution consists of deploying a high-speed...
متن کاملBehavioral Analysis of Traffic Flow for an Effective Network Traffic Identification
Fast and accurate network traffic identification is becoming essential for network management, high quality of service control and early detection of network traffic abnormalities. Techniques based on statistical features of packet flows have recently become popular for network classification due to the limitations of traditional port and payload based methods. In this paper, we propose a metho...
متن کاملFeature Extraction to Identify Network Traffic with Considering Packet Loss Effects
There are huge petitions of network traffic coming from various applications on Internet. In dealing with this volume of network traffic, network management plays a crucial rule. Traffic classification is a basic technique which is used by Internet service providers (ISP) to manage network resources and to guarantee Internet security. In addition, growing bandwidth usage, at one hand, and limit...
متن کاملOffline/realtime traffic classification using semi-supervised learning
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 whe...
متن کاملA Robust Statistical Estimation of Internet Traffic
In this paper a new method of estimating flow characteristics in the Internet is developped. For sampled data, a new set of random variables (referred to as observables) is defined, they can be easily evaluated from sampled data. By adopting a convenient mouse/elephant dichotomy also dependent on the traffic, it is shown how these variables give a robust statistical information of long flows. A...
