摘要: Identifying application layer protocols within network sessions is important when assigning Quality of Service (QoS) priorities as well conducting network security monitoring. This paper introduces a Statistical Protocol IDentification algorithm (SPID) utilizing various statistical flow and data features. We have identified by comparing probability vectors created from observed traffic to known protocols. Promising preliminary results are presented, showing average precision 100% recall 92% for small set traces an access network. To further improve the results, number ongoing future directions with SPID discussed, such optimization of the attribute meters improving robustness against different environments.
