Intelligent Sdn Traffic Classification Using Deep Learning: Deep-Sdn, Ali Malik, Ruairí De Fréin, Mohammed Al-Zeyadi, Javier Andreu-Perez

Conference papers

Accurate traffic classification is fundamentally important for various network activities such as fine-grained network management and resource utilisation. Port-based approaches, deep packet inspection and machine learning are widely used techniques to classify and analyze network traffic flows. However, over the past several years, the growth of Internet traffic has been explosive due to the greatly increased number of Internet users. Therefore, both port-based and deep packet inspection approaches have become inefficient due to the exponential growth of the Internet applications that incurs high computational cost. The emerging paradigm of software-defined networking has reshaped the network architecture by detaching the control …
