Abstract

Traffic classification through Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is considered extremely expensive in terms of processing costs, leading to the conclusion that this technique is not suitable for DPI analysis on high speed networks. However, we believe that performance can be improved by exploiting some common characteristics of the network traffic. In this paper we present and evaluate some optimizations that can definitely decrease the processing cost and can even improve the classification precision.
