Patent ID: 8631331

Claim:
An apparatus for network traffic classification benchmark, comprising: a user interface inputting Internet application traffic trace data of a user constituted by on-line traffic through a network interface card (NIC) and off-line traffic through a Raw file stored in a local or a remote disk, and providing computation data computed by performance evaluation and classification result of a Internet application traffic classification; a pre/post-processor connected with the user interface to convert the input data into a format suitable for each of a plurality of classification plug-ins, and compare and evaluate the performances of the plug-ins; a traffic classifier connected with the pre/post-processor to manage and execute each plug-in configured to each network traffic classification; and a storage connected with the user interface and the traffic classifier to store performance analysis results depending on an execution of the plug-in, wherein the classifier includes, a classification execution unit identifying and classifying applications related to transaction flow; a plug-in management unit connected with the classification execution unit to allocate two or more network traffic classification plug-ins, and to add, modify, and remove the plug-in; and a database management unit connected with the plug-in management unit to manage data of the storage and enable storing or accessing a plurality of records sequentially or randomly.
