SuperSketch: A Multi-Dimensional Reversible Data Structure for Super Host Identification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Facing big network traffic data, effective data compression becomes crucially important and urgently needed for estimating host cardinalities and identifying super hosts. However, the current literature confronts several challenges: incapability of simultaneously measuring various types of host cardinalities and inability to efficiently reconstruct super host addresses. To address these challenges, in this article, we propose a novel sketch data structure, named SuperSketch, to simultaneously measure multiple types of host cardinalities with the purpose of efficiently identifying super hosts. SuperSketch has two significant characteristics: multi-dimensionality and reversibility. The multi-dimensionality makes SuperSketch capable of simultaneously measuring Source Cardinality, Destination Cardinality, and Destination Port Cardinality. The reversibility allows SuperSketch to accurately and quickly reconstruct the original addresses of super hosts once they are identified. We conduct both theoretical analysis and performance evaluation based on real-world network traffic. Experimental results show that SuperSketch achieves outstanding performance for multi-cardinality measurement, super host identification, and host address reconstruction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
