    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for classifying an encrypted flow includes receiving a plurality of packets associated with an encrypted flow traversing a network, collecting telemetry data from the flow without decrypting the flow, sending the telemetry data to a backend system for classification, using the telemetry data to classify the flow using a machine learning classifier, creating a classification response, and using the classification response to modify processing of the flow. In another embodiment, a method for classifying an encrypted flow includes receiving a plurality of packets associated with an encrypted flow traversing a network, collecting telemetry data from the first plurality of packets associated with the flow, sending the telemetry data to a backend system for classification, using the telemetry data to classify the flow using a machine learning classifier, and using the output of the classifier to modify processing of the flow.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a switch in a software-defined network receives a packet sent by an endpoint device via the SDN. The switch makes a copy of the packet based on one or more header fields of the packet matching one or more flow table entries of the switch. The switch forms telemetry data for reporting to a traffic analysis service by applying a metadata filter to the copy of the packet. The metadata filter prevents at least a portion of the copy of the packet from inclusion in the telemetry data. The switch sends the formed telemetry data to the traffic analysis service.
