A traffic classifier has a plurality of binary classifiers, each associated with one of a plurality of calibrators. Each calibrator trained to translate an output score of the associated binary classifier into an estimated class probability value using a fitted logistic curve, each estimated class probability value indicating a probability that the packet flow on which the output score is based belongs to the traffic class associated with the binary classifier associated with the calibrator. The classifier training system configured to generate a training data based on network information gained using flow and packet sampling methods. In some embodiments, the classifier training system configured to generate reduced training data sets, one for each traffic class, reducing the training data related to traffic not associated with the traffic class.

摘要:
In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a method and apparatus for classifying applications using the collective properties of network traffic. In one embodiment, a method for classifying traffic in a communication network includes receiving a traffic activity graph, the traffic activity graph comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of edges, where each of the nodes represents an endpoint associated with the communication network and each of the edges represents traffic between a corresponding pair of the nodes, generating an initial set of inferences as to an application class associated with each of the edges, based on at least one measured statistic related to at least one traffic flow in the communication network, and refining the initial set of inferences based on a spatial distribution of the traffic flows, to produce a final traffic activity graph.

A method and apparatus for providing protection for mail servers in networks such as the packet networks are disclosed. For example, the present method detects a mail server is reaching its processing limit. The method then selectively limits connections to the mail server from a plurality of source nodes based on a spam index associated with each of the source nodes.

Disclosed are email server management methods and systems that protect the ability of the infrastructure of the email server to process legitimate emails in the presence of large spam volumes. During a period of server overload, priority classes of emails are identified, and emails are processed according to priority. In a typical embodiment, the server sends emails sequentially in a queue, and the queue has a limited capacity. When the server nears or reaches that capacity, the emails in the queue are analyzed to identify priority emails, and the priority emails are moved to the head of the queue.

A method for identifying traffic to an application including the steps of monitoring communication traffic in a network, identifying data from communication traffic content, and constructing a model for mapping the communication traffic for an application derived from data identified from the communication traffic content is described. A related system and computer readable medium for performing the method is also described. The described method and system has utility in a wide array of networks including IP networks.
摘要:
A system to detect anomalies in internet protocol (IP) flows uses a set of machine-learning (ML) rules that can be applied in real time at the IP flow level. A communication network has a large number of routers that can be equipped with flow monitoring capability. A flow collector collects flow data from the routers throughout the communication network and provides them to a flow classifier. At the same time, a limited number of locations in the network monitor data packets and generate alerts based on packet data properties. The packet alerts and the flow data are provided to a machine learning system that detects correlations between the packet-based alerts and the flow data to thereby generate a series of flow-level alerts. These rules are provided to the flow time classifier. Over time, the new packet alerts and flow data are used to provide updated rules generated by the machine learning system.
