Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a method and apparatus for classifying applications using the collective properties of network traffic. In one embodiment, a method for classifying traffic in a communication network includes receiving a traffic activity graph, the traffic activity graph comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of edges, where each of the nodes represents an endpoint associated with the communication network and each of the edges represents traffic between a corresponding pair of the nodes, generating an initial set of inferences as to an application class associated with each of the edges, based on at least one measured statistic related to at least one traffic flow in the communication network, and refining the initial set of inferences based on a spatial distribution of the traffic flows, to produce a final traffic activity graph.
