Abstract
Network traffic classification has a huge application in software-defined networking (SDN) where we talk about more control over the network traffic. With the increase of encrypted protocols in the network, the problem of traffic classification has become extremely challenging. Many researchers have proposed different techniques to do traffic classification. This demo paper presents an application of our proposed method for traffic classification in an SDN environment. The proposed method leverages one of the self-supervised learning approaches, an emerging field of deep learning, to classify network traffic. This paper shows that the proposed method can outperform the corresponding supervised approach by $\sim 2$% in terms of accuracy using data collected from an SDN testbed. Furthermore, an SDN application is developed to show that the trained model is able to classify real-time traffic.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
