    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for combining a multiple sub-time window sampling architecture with machine learning to detect outlier traffic flow behavior which may indicate malicious/problematic network activity. For example, a network device may obtain a sample of traffic flow data during a defined time window. The sample of traffic flow data may comprise information associated with a sampled subset of traffic flows transferred by a network device in the defined time window. The network device may partition the defined time window into two or more sub-time windows. In each sub-time window, using machine learning, the network device may assign an outlier-related classification to each sampled traffic flow based on the relative behavioral characteristics of all the sampled traffic flows. The network device may aggregate the outlier-related classifications for each sampled traffic flow across multiple sub-time windows, and process traffic flows based on the aggregated outlier-related classifications.
