Network Traffic Classification enables a number of practical applications ranging from network monitoring to resource management, with security implications as well. Nowadays, traffic classification has become a challenging task in order to distinguish among a variety of applications due to the huge amount of generated traffic. Therefore, developing Machine Learning (ML) models, which can successfully identify network applications, is one of the most important tasks. However, among the ML models applied to network traffic classification so far, no model outperforms all the others. To solve these issues, this paper proposes a novel Deep Learning (DL)-based approach that incorporates multiple Decision Tree based models. This approach employs a non-linear blending ensemble method by combining tree-based classifiers through DL in order to maximize generalization accuracy. This ensemble consists of two …
