Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) of the network traffic is used on a regular basis within the traditional and virtualized environments. But changes in the network architecture with the introduction of containers, microservices, application functions, network functions, and the penetration of 5G access technology are adding more traffic complexity, especially in the so-called east-west flow direction. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has become an unavoidable step for further IP network development. In this context, DPI is becoming a challenge. Furthermore, the penetration of 5G allows access of various kinds of devices to the network with cloudification logic which drives them. This paper provides a performance analysis of a selected set of supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms for classification of network traffic within an NFV environment. The goal is to find a suitable algorithm that will classify the traffic from a point of both precision and speed, especially because in the 5G networks any packet delay may compromise the quality of service requirements. The research shows that out of the 6 algorithms tested, Decision Tree algorithm has the best overall performance, from both classification precision and time consumption point of view. It has proved as a reliable classifier that is performing evenly across different classes. Due to the specifics of the virtualized environments and encryption methods, payload data, source, destination, and port information of the network traffic packets are excluded from any statistical operation used for classification by the ML algorithms.

Rapid growth of network traffic causes the need for the development of new network technologies. Artificial intelligence provides suitable tools to improve currently used network optimization methods. In this paper, we propose a procedure for network traffic prediction. Based on optical networks’ (and other network technologies) characteristics, we focus on the prediction of fixed bitrate levels called traffic levels. We develop and evaluate two approaches based on different supervised machine learning (ML) methods—classification and regression. We examine four different ML models with various selected features. The tested datasets are based on real traffic patterns provided by the Seattle Internet Exchange Point (SIX). Obtained results are analyzed using a new quality metric, which allows researchers to find the best forecasting algorithm in terms of network resources usage and operational costs. Our research shows that regression provides better results than classification in case of all analyzed datasets. Additionally, the final choice of the most appropriate ML algorithm and model should depend on the network operator expectations.

The article aims to develop a model for forecasting the characteristics of traffic flows in real-time based on the classification of applications using machine learning methods to ensure the quality of service. It is shown that the model can forecast the mean rate and frequency of packet arrival for the entire flow of each class separately. The prediction is based on information about the previous flows of this class and the first 15 packets of the active flow. Thus, the Random Forest Regression method reduces the prediction error by approximately 1.5 times compared to the standard mean estimate for transmitted packets issued at the switch interface.
