    摘要: In one embodiment, a telemetry exporter in a network establishes a tunnel between the telemetry exporter and a traffic analysis service. The telemetry exporter obtains packet copies of a plurality of packets sent between devices via the network. The telemetry exporter forms a set of traffic telemetry data by discarding at least a portion of one or more of the packet copies, based on a filter policy. The telemetry exporter applies compression to the formed set of traffic telemetry data. The telemetry exporter sends, via the tunnel, the compressed set of traffic telemetry data to the traffic analysis service for analysis.

    摘要: 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.
