Integrating Machine Learning with OfftheShelf Traffic Flow Features for HTTPHTTPS Traffic Classification Accurate traffic classification is a key requirement for different network and security monitoringplanning tools. The evolution of Internet protocols and applications has caused traditional traffic classification approaches to be ineffective in certain cases. Key causes of the inaccuracy include: (i) the increase in the encrypted traffic; (ii) the rise in the usage of dynamic port numbers for different applications; and (iii) multiple applications running over HTTPHTTPS protocols. Traditional solutions for traffic analysis, classification, and measurement fall short in providing visibility in usersxe2x80x99 activities  a key requirement for network and security monitoring tools. In this paper, we evaluate an automatic classifier for encrypted Social media, Video and Audio traffic without relying on particular application layer header fields that can be easily modified. We leverage machine learning algorithms together with the features provided by the wellknown offtheshelf traffic flow exporters. We evaluate the performance of such a system also for generalization (robustness) purposes on different networks. Experimental results show promising performances in terms of generating robust traffic classification on large traffic data when the trained model is moved to different networks.

The rise of traffic classification in IoT networks: A survey Abstract   With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the integration and communication of various objects have become a prevalent practice. The huge growth of IoT devices and different characteristics in the IoT traffic patterns have brought attention to traffic classification methods to address various raised issues in IoT applications. While network traffic classification has been well discussed in a number of surveys and review papers, it is still immature in IoT due to the differences in traffic characteristics in IoT and NonIoT devices. This survey looks at the emerging trends of network traffic classification in IoT and the utilization of traffic classification in its applications. It also compares the legacy of traffic classification methods and presents an overview of traditional models. This paper extends the discussion with a taxonomy of the current network traffic classification within the IoT context. We then expose commercial and realworld use cases of the IoT traffic classification and finally outline open research issues and challenges in this domain.
