Abstract

In recent years, there have been many methods proposed to perform network traffic classification based on application protocols. Still, there is a pressing need for a practical tool to benchmark the performance of these approaches in real-world high-performance network environments. In this paper, based on rigorous requirements analysis on real-world environments, we present a real-time traffic classification benchmark system, termed TrafficS, which aims at easy performance-evaluation between different intelligent methods. TrafficS is not only extensible to incorporate multiple traffic classification engines but supports different packet/stream sampling techniques as well. Furthermore, it could provide users a comprehensive means to perceive the difference between inspected methods in various aspects.
