Abstract

Focus on the difficulty of large-scale network traffic monitoring and analysis, this paper proposed the concepts of Group Behavior Flow model to aggregate traffic packets and perform abnormal behavior detection. Based on the flow model the pivotal traffic metrics can be extracted while the number of flow records are reduced significantly. Secondly, we employ the graph model to capture the traffic feature distribution between different group users. And optical flow analysis methods are proposed to extract the dynamic behavior changing features between different groups and achieve the goal of abnormal behavior detection. The experimental results based on actual traffic traces show that the methods proposed in this paper can capture the traffic features effectually in the current 10 Gbps network environment, and achieve the goal of abnormal behavior detection and abnormal source location, which is very important for traffic management.
