A Timeliness-Enhanced Traffic Identification Method in Airborne Network

High dynamic topology and limited bandwidth of the airborne network make it difficult to provide reliable information interaction services for diverse combat mission of aviation swarm operations. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the elephant flows in the network in real time to optimize the process of traffic control and improve the performance of airborne network. Aiming at this problem, a timeliness-enhanced traffic identification method based on machine learning Bayesian network model is proposed. Firstly, the data flow training subset is obtained by preprocessing the original traffic dataset, and the sub-classifier is constructed based on Bayesian network model. Then, the multi-window dynamic Bayesian network classifier model is designed to enable the early identification of elephant flow. The simulation results show that compared with the existing elephant flow identification method, the proposed method can effectively improve the timeliness of identification under the condition of ensuring the accuracy of identification.
