Empirical Analysis of Application-Level Traffic Classification Using Supervised Machine Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate application traffic classification and identification are important for network monitoring and analysis. The accuracy of traditional Internet application traffic classification approaches is rapidly decreasing due to the diversity of today’s Internet application traffic, such as ephemeral port allocation, proprietary protocol, and traffic encryption. This paper presents an empirical evaluation of application-level traffic classification using supervised machine learning techniques. Our results indicate that we cannot achieve high accuracy with a simple feature set. Even if a simple feature set shows good performance in application category-level classification, more sophisticated feature selection methods and other techniques are necessary for performance enhancement.
