On packet classification using a decision-tree ensemble

Published: 11 December 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Different traffic flows get treated differently at routers, depending on the descriptions they fit as well as rules set by network administrators. Today's routers have their work cut out having to categorize these incoming flows based on preconfigured administrative policies. Purely hardware-based traffic classification solutions are expensive, of low capacity and consume a lot of power. This paper proposes the use of machine learning techniques to classify these flows for appropriate action in Software-Defined Networks.
