Itcm a real time internet traffic classifier monitorijcsit
The continual growth of high speed networks is a challenge for real-time network analysis systems. The
real time traffic classification is an issue for corporations and ISPs (Internet Service Providers). This work
presents the design and implementation of a real time flow-based network traffic classification system. The
classifier monitor acts as a pipeline consisting of three modules: packet capture and pre-processing, flow
reassembly, and classification with Machine Learning (ML). The modules are built as concurrent processes
with well defined data interfaces between them so that any module can be improved and updated
independently. In this pipeline, the flow reassembly function becomes the bottleneck of the performance. In
this implementation, was used a efficient method of reassembly which results in a average delivery delay of
0.49 seconds, approximately. For the classification module, the performances of the K-Nearest Neighbor
(KNN), C4.5 Decision Tree, Naive Bayes (NB), Flexible Naive Bayes (FNB) and AdaBoost Ensemble
Learning Algorithm are compared in order to validate our approach.
Approximation of regression-based fault minimization for network trafficTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This research associates three distinct approaches for computer network traffic prediction. They are the traditional stochastic gradient descent (SGD) using a few random samplings instead of the complete dataset for each iterative calculation, the gradient descent algorithm (GDA) which is a well-known optimization approach in deep learning, and the proposed method. The network traffic is computed from the traffic load (data and multimedia) of the computer network nodes via the Internet. It is apparent that the SGD is a modest iteration but can conclude suboptimal solutions. The GDA is a complicated one, can function more accurate than the SGD but difficult to manipulate parameters, such as the learning rate, the dataset granularity, and the loss function. Network traffic estimation helps improve performance and lower costs for various applications, such as an adaptive rate control, load balancing, the quality of service (QoS), fair bandwidth allocation, and anomaly detection. The proposed method confirms optimal values out of parameters using simulation to compute the minimum figure of specified loss function in each iteration.
We predict train delays caused by bad weather using ML. The model is trained with weather observation and then employed to weather forecast output to predict upcoming delays. The prediction can be done 2 days ahead with 1 hour interval.
Impact of Packet Inter-arrival Time Features for Online Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Cl...IJECEIAES
Identification of bandwidth-heavy Internet traffic is important for network administrators to throttle high-bandwidth application traffic. Flow features based classification have been previously proposed as promising method to identify Internet traffic based on packet statistical features. The selection of statistical features plays an important role for accurate and timely classification. In this work, we investigate the impact of packet inter-arrival time feature for online P2P classification in terms of accuracy, Kappa statistic and time. Simulations were conducted using available traces from University of Brescia, University of Aalborg and University of Cambridge. Experimental results show that the inclusion of inter-arrival time (IAT) as an online feature increases simulation time and decreases classification accuracy and Kappa statistic.

In urban areas including shopping malls and stations
with many people, it is important to utilize various information
which those people have obtained. In this paper, we
propose a method for information registration and retrieval
in MANET which achieves small communication cost and
short response time. In our method, we divide the whole application
field into multiple sub-areas and classify records
into several categories so that mobile terminals in an area
holds records with a category. Each area is associated with
a category so that the number of queries for the category
becomes the largest in the area. Thus, mobile users search
records with a certain category by sending a query to nodes
in the particular area using existing protocol such as LBM
(Location-Based Multicast). Through simulations supposing
actual urban area near Osaka station, we have confirmed
that our method achieves practical communication
cost and performance for information retrieval in MANET.
Call Admission Control Scheme With Multimedia Scheduling Service in WiMAX Net...Waqas Tariq
WiMAX network introduces a multimedia data scheduling service with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. Transmission opportunities are scheduled by the service according to the types of traffic data for the different connections or users. In the paper, we first propose a uniform definition of QoS level for the multimedia data types in the service. The QoS level of a connection are determined by the type of data of the connection and its allocated resources. Based on these QoS levels, we propose a call admission control (CAC) scheme for the entry admission of a new connection without degrading the network performance and the QoS of ongoing connections. The key idea of this scheme is to regulate the arriving traffic of the network such that the network can work at an optimal point, given under a heavy load traffic. Taking advantage of the simulation experiments, we confirm the fact that the proposed scheme can achieve better trade-off between the overall performance of network system and the QoS level of individual connection.
In the support of congestion control over the Internet
in providing the assurance of the equality between much diverse
traffic is a difficult function. The advent of streaming media has
offered users with low-latency media content, with higher
congestion on the Internet due to stringent bandwidth and
latency requirements. Therefore, it is more and more important
to resolve the difficulties of increased packet deliver fail reasoned
because of congestion and better quality of service for streaming
media. In this paper, we propose a review on the congestion
control approaches (CCA) for the real-time streaming
applications on the Internet. The role of TCP in network
congestion control and the characteristics of the original realtime
streaming media are discussed. After that, we discuss issues
in the media stream and real-time congestion control. The survey
will support the understanding of the current congestion
mechanism and continue to enhance the expansion of real-time
streaming application services.
FORECASTING THE WIMAX TRAFFIC VIA MODIFIED ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK MODELSijaia
This paper attempts to present a new approach of forecasting the WiMAX traffic by exploiting Artificial
Neural Networks (ANN). To develop the model, actual data is gathered from the LibyaMax network that spans the duration of 180 days in total. Traffic data is separated into three cases based on the base stations involved (A, B and AB). The model implements traffic prediction by emphasizing on the maximum and minimum number of online user whereby two different learning algorithms are tested upon. to find the optimal one. Overall, the experimentation shows promising results of which the most severe error of prediction is not more than 0.0014. This indicates the feasibility of making accurate forecasting of both daily and weekly traffic of the WiMAX network based solely on the maximum and minimum number of users online.
Performance Evaluation of Routing Protocols in University Networkijtsrd
In an enterprise network, multiple dynamic routing protocols are used for forwarding packets with the best routes. Therefore, performance of the network is based on routing protocols and the route redistribution is an important issue in an enterprise network that has been configured by multiple different routing protocols in its routers. So, aim of the system is to analyze the performance and comparison of different Interior Gateway routing protocols. Routing is depended on many parameters critical such as network convergence time, Ethernet delay, throughput, end to end delay, jitter, packet delivery, security and bandwidth, etc. In this paper, the analysis of characteristics and the performance of the different routing protocols as Routing Information Protocol RIP , Open Shortest Path First OSPF and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol EIGRP are evaluated in a university network. The performance evaluation are based on end to end packet delay, network convergence time, packet delay variation and administrative distance, etc. The analysis focuses on the performance of the routing protocols with its routing table in a simulator. The Simulation software can be used to evaluate and compare the performance of the routing protocols. The simulator return the routing table for each node or router in the university network which would contain the best path to reach the remote destination on the metric chosen based on the routing protocol implemented. The simulation software give results used to evaluate the performance of routing protocols, the performance of different routing protocols will be compared, and to analyze the convergence time and administrative distance of routing protocols.

done with offloading data method from LTE to Wi-Fi network. This paper using 802.11ah standard to
evaluate Wi-Fi network. IEEE 802.11ah have 1000 meters coverage area and efficiency energy
mechanism, which is proposed for M2M in 5G techonology. Some research has proven that traffic
diversion with offloading can increasing network performance. The contribution of this paper is to evaluate
the impact of traffic offload between LTE and IEEE 802.11ah standard. This paper propose two scenarios
using increment number of user and increment mobility speed of user to evaluate throughput and delay
value before and after the offload process. The simulation will simulate using Network Simulator-3. We can
conclude that network performance after offloading is better for every scenario. For increment number of
user scenario, throughput value increasing 29.08%, and delay decreasing 8.12%. Scenario with increment
mobility speed of user obtain throughput value increasing 37,57%, and delay value decreasing 27.228%.

Jamming aware traffic allocation for multiple-path routing using portfolio se...Saad Bare
Multiple-path source routing protocols allow a data source node to distribute the total traffic among available paths. we consider the problem of jamming-aware source routing in which the source node performs traffic allocation based on empirical jamming statistics at individual network nodes. We formulate this traffic allocation as a lossy network flow optimization problem using portfolio selection theory from financial statistics. We show that in multisource networks, this centralized optimization problem can be solved using a distributed algorithm based on decomposition in network utility maximization (NUM). We demonstrate the network's ability to estimate the impact of jamming and incorporate these estimates into the traffic allocation problem. Finally, we simulate the achievable throughput using our proposed traffic allocation method in several scenarios.
My talk at the Winter School on Big Data in Tarragona, Spain.
Abstract: We have made much progress over the past decade toward harnessing the collective power of IT resources distributed across the globe. In high-energy physics, astronomy, and climate, thousands work daily within virtual computing systems with global scope. But we now face a far greater challenge: Exploding data volumes and powerful simulation tools mean that many more--ultimately most?--researchers will soon require capabilities not so different from those used by such big-science teams. How are we to meet these needs? Must every lab be filled with computers and every researcher become an IT specialist? Perhaps the solution is rather to move research IT out of the lab entirely: to leverage the “cloud” (whether private or public) to achieve economies of scale and reduce cognitive load. I explore the past, current, and potential future of large-scale outsourcing and automation for science, and suggest opportunities and challenges for today’s researchers.
Delivering Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Services based on ...Danny Alex Lachos Perez
Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is an IETF standardized protocol that provides abstract network topology and cost maps in addition to endpoint information services that can be consumed by applications in order to become network-aware and take optimized decisions regarding traffic flows. In this work, we propose a public service based on the ALTO specification using public routing information available at the Brazilian Internet eXchange Points (IXPs). Our ALTO server prototype takes the acronym of AaaS (ALTO-as-a-Service) and is based on over 2.5GB of real BGP data from the 25 Brazilian IX.br public IXPs. We evaluate our proposal in terms of functional behaviour and performance via proof of concept experiments which point to the potential benefits of applications being able to take smart endpoint selection decisions when consuming the developer-friendly ALTO APIs.

AN ADVANCED QOS ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION METHOD FOR MOBILE INTERNET ACCESS ijwmn
The paper proposes a new method for the analysis and evaluation of the Quality of Service (QoS) in a
mobile Internet access scenario. In particular, the paper proposes a throughput evaluation method based
on PathChirp algorithm. The end-to-end bandwidth was estimated by means of the Self Loading of Periodic
Streams (SloPS) technique. The obtained measurements were then analyzed by estimating the degree of
correlation with other parameters that characterize the data transmission such as power, round trip time,
etc. Finally, in order to have greater spatial resolution performance guaranteed by an Internet service

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

3. Internet Traffic Measurement 3
Why Measure ?
Although Internet works, it is far from being ideal
Measurements of various aspects of it will:
Help us to better understand why it works the way it does
Help us to diagnose known problems and lead us one step
closer to their solutions
Help us to design new features that the Internet should
provide to enable next-generation application requirements
Simply put, “Internet Measurements is key to the
design of the next-generation Internet”
4. Internet Traffic Measurement 4
What to Measure ?
Physical Properties
Devices (routers, NAT boxes, firewalls, switches),
Links (wired, wireless)
Topology Properties
Various levels – Autonomous Systems (AS),
Points of Presence (PoP), Routers, Interfaces
Traffic Properties
Delays (Transmission, Propagation, Queuing,
Processing etc.), Losses, Throughput, Jitter
7. Internet Traffic Measurement 7
Active Measurement Tools
Methods that involve adding traffic to the network for the
purposes of measurement
Ping: Sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST and captures ECHO_REPLY
Useful for measuring RTTs
Only sender needs to be under experiment control
Traceroute: Ping nodes with incremental TTL from one
Find Hops between source and destination node
Only sender needs to be under experiment control
There is some care about the result
8. Internet Traffic Measurement 8
Active Measurement Load
Active Measurement inserts considerable load on
network links if attempting a large-scale topology
discovery
Optimizations reduce this load considerably
If single source is used, instead of going from source to
destination, a better approach is to retrace from destination
to source
If multiple sources and multiple destinations are used,
sharing information among these would bring download
considerably
9. Internet Traffic Measurement 9
Passive Measurement
Capture traffic generated by other users and
applications
Routeview collects BGP views (routing tables) from
a large set of ASes
OSPF LSAs can processed to generate router
graphs within an AS

End-to-End Measurement
Tomography: process of inferring network topology, delays,
packet losses etc. using only end-to-end measurements
13. Internet Traffic Measurement 13
Measurement Level
Bit & Bytes (useless)
Packets (High volume)
High volume but valuable data for offline & generate traffic
Flow (limited to flows)
Protocols (Specific Protocol)
TCP, UDP, IP, RTP, ..
Application (Known applications)
HTTP, DNS, MAIL, VOIP, ...
SNMP

Hidden Pieces - Middleboxes
Firewalls – provide security
Traffic Shapers – assist in traffic management
Proxies – improve performance
NAT boxes – utilize IP address space efficiently
Each of these impedes visibility of network
components.
Example:
firewalls may block active probing requests
NATs hide away the no. of hosts and the structure of the
network on the other side

Bandwidth Measurment
Bandwidth Measurement
Amount of data the network can transmit per unit time
Three kinds of bandwidth
capacity: max throughput a link can sustain,
available bandwidth: capacity – used bandwidth
bulk transfer capacity: rate that a new single long-lived TCP
connection would obtain over a path

Path Provisioning by Traceroute
Suppose the path between A and D is to be
determined using traceroute
A
X Y
D
B C
22. Internet Traffic Measurement 22
Traceroute issues
Path Asymmetry (Destination -> Source need
not retrace Source -> Destination)
Unstable Paths and False Edges
Aliases
Measurement Load
23. Internet Traffic Measurement 23
Unstable Paths and False Edges
Inferred path: A -> B -> Y
A
X Y
D
B C
Dest = D
TTL = 1
B: “time
exceeded”
Dest = D
TTL = 2
Y: “time
exceeded”
24. Internet Traffic Measurement 24
Aliases
IP addresses are for interfaces and not
routers
Routers typically have many interfaces, each
with its own IP address
IP addresses of all the router interfaces are
aliases
Traceroute results require resolution of
aliases if they are to be used for topology
building

Video Quality Measurment
Subjective Evaluation
Variety cause of user experience
Need many user to vote
Objective Evaluation
Data Metrics (PSNR)
Picture Metrics (MPQM ,SSIM)
Packet/Bit stream Metrics (Loss)
Full/Reduced/Non Reference
Visible/Invisible distortion
27. Internet Traffic Measurement 27
Video Quality Measurment
Stream should be packetized
TS(DVB) vs RTP(IPTV)
Passive Measurement
Deep Packet Inspection
Resilience and Error correction
Quality Estimation (Fuzzy, NN, ...)
