Novel Method for Identification of Application Protocol Traffic
Shun‐Zheng Yu · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2011
With the various newly designed applications and the rapid development of the network technology,the network traffic identification has encountered serious challenges.The traditional method of traffic identification based on the port number assigned by IANA could no longer be applied due to its deficiency,and another method by the statistical characters of flows could hardly satisfy the accuracy and real-time demand.This paper presents a novel approach to identify application traffic based on data mining,which automatically extracts application signature from the content of the application session,and furthermore identifies the same traffic using the signature matching.The identification rate,precision rate and F1-Measue have been verified on some traces and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the algorithm,which can be used to accurately identify applications.
