Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Summary form only given. Online classification of network traffic is very challenging and still an issue to be solved due to the increase of new applications and traffic encryption. In this paper, we propose a hybrid mechanism for online classification of network traffic, in which we apply a signature-based method at the first level, and then we take advantage of a learning algorithm to classify the remaining unknown traffic using statistical features. Our evaluation with over 250 thousand flows collected over three consecutive hours on a large-scale ISP network shows promising results in detecting encrypted and tunneled applications compared to other existing methods.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
