FDPHI: Fast Deep Packet Header Inspection for Data Traffic Classification and Management

Traffic classification is referred to as the task of categorizing traffic flows into application-aware classes such as chats, streaming, VoIP, etc.Most systems of network traffic identification are based on features.These features may be static signatures, port numbers, statistical characteristics, and so on.Current methods of data flow classification are effective, they still lack new inventive approaches to meet the needs of vital points such as real-time traffic classification, low power consumption, ), Central Processing Unit (CPU) utilization, etc.Our novel Fast Deep Packet Header Inspection (FDPHI) traffic classification proposal employs 1 Dimension Convolution Neural Network (1D-CNN) to automatically learn more representational characteristics of traffic flow types; by considering only the position of the selected bits from the packet header.The proposal a learning approach based on deep packet inspection which integrates both feature extraction and classification phases into one system.The results show that the FDPHI works very well on the applications of feature learning.Also, it presents powerful adequate traffic classification results in terms of energy consumption (70% less power CPU utilization around 48% less), and processing time (310% for IPv4 and 595% for IPv6).
