Summary: | Providing an appropriate level of flow collection, relying on packet capturing or flow sampling method, is extremely hard due to various practical limitations and resources requirements. To address this challenge, this paper investigated a CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function)-based flow detection to decide between “known” and “unknown” flows. Therefore, a combined flow collection can be achieved to improve the collection’s efficiency by sampling only the known flows and capturing the remaining unknown flows. As a preliminary experiment, detecting known and unknown flows was conducted over a long period by calculating the empirical CDF distance between each flow’s rate and overall packet’s rate distribution, called as FPR (Flow-to-Packet Ratio), with a threshold (FPRmin) based on a significant level of observed data. The result shows that unknown flow is detected for most of the recommended significant level values. |
