Network traffic classification is the foundation of many network research works. Network traffic classification is extensively required for some network management tasks, for example, prioritization, flow, diagnostic monitoring and traffic shaping/policing. Similar to network management tasks, many network engineering problems, like capacity planning, route provisioning and workload characterization and modelling, also benefit from accurate identification of the network traffic. The focus of this research is to classify traffic based on application type. This paper presents a review of different types of network classification methods and big data tools used to increase accuracy.
