A Traffic-Based Intrusion Detection System in IPv6/4 Environments and Its Performance Analysis

This paper proposed a traffic-based intrusion detection system framework in IPv6/4 environments and a traffic-based intrusion method. Through the establishment of a mathematical model to identify the relationship among detection time, memory usage and classification, one achieved a highly effective detection method which considered both traffic characteristics and rule characteristics....

Offline/Realtime Traffic Classification Using Semi-Supervised Learning

Identifying and categorizing network traffic by application type is challenging because of the continued evolution of applications, especially of those with a desire to be undetectable. The diminished effectiveness of port-based identification and the overheads of deep packet inspection approaches motivate us to classify traffic by exploiting distinctive flow characteristics...
