摘 要: As a fundamental tool for network management and security, traffic classification has attracted more and more attention in recent years. A big challenge to the robustness of classification performance comes from zero-day applications which were previously unknown in a traffic classification system. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of Robust statistical Traffic Classification (RTC) by combining supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques to meet this challenge. The proposed RTC scheme has the capability of identifying the traffic of zero-day applications as well as accurately discriminating pre-defined application classes. In addition, we provide a new semi-supervised mechanism to achieve fine-grained zero-day traffic classification through labelling very few traffic flows. The empirical study on big real-world traffic data confirms the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. When zero-day applications are present, the classification performance of the new scheme is significantly better than four state-of-the-art methods: random forest, correlation-based classification, semi-supervised clustering, and one-class SVM.
