A Method for Mitigating the Impact of Burst Feature Variations with Available Bandwidth on Application Category Estimation

There are many problems in setting appropriate quality requirements for communication flows. If flows that require low latency or high reliability are treated the same as other flows, these flows are susceptible to congestion. Therefore, we are studying technologies to effectively utilize network resources by identifying flows and setting appropriate quality requirements. When identifying flows, there is a problem that the traffic behavior changes due to available bandwidth limitations, and the identification accuracy decreases. In this paper, we explain the cause of the problem and show our improved application category estimation method mitigating the impact of available bandwidth fluctuations.
