Major applications for statistical modeling of network traffic flows can be found in network testing and imitating of unavailable devices. Since packet-level modeling is considered, packet size (PS) and inter-arrival time (IAT) features are sufficient for accurate statistics. Two models are compared based on the hidden Markov model (HMM) framework and a recurrent neural network (RNN). In the RNN model, the feature space is encoded with latent components of a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The comparison is carried out with a voice Skype call and traffic of an IoT device, and evaluated with the rolling entropy and Kulback-Leibler divergence (KLD) metrics that are derived from the generated PS and IAT parameters. The results show that the RNN is applicable for the packet-level modeling task, but it underperforms the HMM. |
