Abstract
A Flow Classification System (FCS) is a process and mechanism that assigns a
class to a network connection (flow). In QoS-aware networks, QoS-aware applications
can identify and assign service classes to their flows. The flows are then treated
by the networks according to their classes. However, most of the existing network
applications are QoS-unaware applications, prompting a need for an enhanced FCS
that can automatically identify the service classes of the flows.
ThisdissertationdescribesanewFCS,calledSupervisedMachinelearningAssisted
Real-Time (SMART) Flow Classification System, designed to classify QoS-unaware
flows in real-time. It uses a novel concept of flow prefix, which refers to a certain
number of flow packets. We empirically show that the characteristics of a flow can
be estimated by observing only up to a specific prefix. Evaluations on benchmark
datasets have shown that observing only 11 packets is sufficient to achieve more than
90% classification accuracy.
SMART uses a machine learning algorithm to automatically identify relationships
between the characteristics and the classes of the flows from QoS-aware applications.
The learned relationships are then used to identify the QoS-unaware flows. We have
evaluated our SMART FCS over a variety of real-world data, including flow samples
collected from individual users and a large dataset collected from an edge router of an
organizational network. The results show that our approach achieves average correct-
ness of 98.82% and 99.66% in individual-users and large-network benchmark datasets,
respectively.iiiii
Acknowledgement
I owe my deepest gratitude to my Doktorvater, Prof. Bernd Brügge, professor for
Applied Software Engineering at Technische Universität München, who has supervised
and guided me during my research. Not only providing me valuable scientific and
technical advices, he also motivated and encouraged me with perpetual energy and
enthusiasm. It is an honor for me to work with him.
I am heartily thankful to Prof. Alexander Schill, professor for Computer Networks
andProf.SteffenHölldobler, professorforKnowledgeRepresentationandReasoningat
Dresden University of Technology. This thesis would not have been possible without
their kindly help, suggestions as well as detailed and constructive comments. I am
deeply grateful to my supervisor at BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG, Dr. Thorsten
Schöler, for his important support and throughout this work. I also warmly thank
Dr. Kenjiro Cho, Deputy Research Director at Internet Initiative Japan, Inc., and the
WIDE Project, Japan, for their valuable data.
