Title
Aggregated representations and metrics for scalable flow analysis
Abstract
While monitoring network traffic at the operator level allows to collect highly valuable data for monitoring large scale distributed attacks, scalability remains a major challenge due to the large data volumes to handle. In particular, collecting and storing NetFlow data is feasible but accurate analysis is still a challenging topic. Hence, this paper leverages an aggregated representation of the network traffic which is further analyzed using dedicated entropic based metrics and machine learning techniques. The main advantage is a reduction of the computational complexity while the accuracy still remains acceptable as highlighted by evaluation on real datasets.
