An Architecture Proposal for Network Traffic Monitoring with IoT Traffic Classification Support
Matias R. P. dos Santos, Callado Arthur de C. · 2017
Devices of the Internet-of-Things such as sensors, actuators and smart objects are being incorporated into homes and companies to allow more interaction and communication. As new devices are introduced in IoT ecosystems, there is a need to improve control, security and infrastructure management, since network operators will not be able to know which devices are being used or whether network operations are being performed correctly for these devices. IoT ecosystems are heterogeneous, dynamic with the constant inclusion of new services and require interoperability. Environments with these characteristics present a challenge for any classification methodology. This paper shows a proposal for the construction of a tool for network monitoring that supports IoT devices traffic classification and identification. The proposed tool will provide three main functionalities: a network monitor, a passive classifier, and anactive classifier.
