Method and system for classifying traffic in IP networks

摘要

The method involves capturing a data flow (1) e.g. Internet traffic, and performing deep packet inspection. Predetermined parameters e.g. packet size, are extracted from the captured data flow. Traffics are classified using a decision tree e.g. C4.5 or C5.0 type decision tree, while concerning the traffics e.g. encrypted traffics, that are not identified by the inspection operation. The decision tree is generated by a generation module (7). An independent claim is also included for an installation for classifying traffics on a telecommunication network.
