Well-known port numbers can no longer be used to reliably identify network applications.
There is a variety of new Internet applications that either do not use well-known port …

Network managers are inevitably called upon to associate network traffic with particular
applications. Indeed, this operation is critical for a wide range of management functions …

The identification of network applications that create traffic flows is vital to the areas of
network management and surveillance. Current popular methods such as port number and …

Correct classification of traffic flows according to the application layer protocols that
generated them is essential for most network-management, resource allocation and …

Traditional traffic identification methods based on well‐known port numbers are not
appropriate for the identification of new types of Internet applications. This paper proposes a …

The area of Internet traffic measurement has advanced enormously over the last couple of
years. This was mostly due to the increase in network access speeds, due to the …

Identifying and categorizing network traffic by application type is challenging because of the
continued evolution of applications, especially of those with a desire to be undetectable. The …

Motivated by the importance of accurate identification for a range of applications, this paper
compares and contrasts the effective and efficient classification of network-based …

In contrast to previous surveys, the present work is not focused on reviewing the datasets
used in the network security field. The fact is that many of the available public labeled …

Traffic classification has received increasing attention in the last years. It aims at offering the
ability to automatically recognize the application that has generated a given stream of …
