Identifying the application transmitting a given flow of network traffic is beneficial for network management, especially for achieving application specific QoS, enabling malware detection, and executing network functions such as content caching only for a particular application.
Although typical methods for application identification include port scanning and pattern recognition using application signature,
they suffer from various problems, e.g., for the former, ephemeral port usage and dynamic port allocation hinder accurate
application identification, and for the latter, it is costly to collect application signatures, especially from encrypted traffic.
The existing research for application identification using machine learning have shortcomings such as a limited scope of identifiable applications,
inability to deal with real-time traffic, and few efforts have been put to fine-grained application identification, e.g., at the level of application
identifiers such as YouTube and Chrome. We have proposed a real-time identification method using reliable
and on-line training data collection performed by adding the application identifier at the end of the SYN packet.
Our existing method identifies 80% mobile applications accurately without Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).
In this paper, we propose a new method that improves inference accuracy using DPI even applicable to encrypted traffic.
We evaluate our method in real MVNO traffic and show our method identifies at maximum 92% applications in the traffic
accurately using 2-gram features of packet payloads. We also improve the inference accuracy from 82% without DPI to 90 % with DPI
when learning period is limited to 5 days. |
