  • With the exhaustion of global IPv4 addresses, IPv6 technologies have attracted increasing attentions, and have been deployed widely. Meanwhile, new applications running over IPv6 networks will change the traditional traffic characteristics obtained from IPv4 networks. Traditional models obtained from IPv4 cannot be used for IPv6 network monitoring directly and there is a need to investigate those changes. In this paper, we explore the flow features of IPv6 traffic and compare its difference with that of IPv4 traffic from flow level. Firstly, we analyze the differences of the general flow statistical characteristics and users' behavior between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. We find that there are more elephant flows in IPv6, which is critical for traffic engineering. Secondly, we find that there exist many one-way flows both in the IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, which are important information sources for abnormal behavior detection. Finally, in light of the challenges of analyzing massive data of large-scale network monitoring, we propose a group flow model which can greatly reduce the number of flows while capturing the primary traffic features, and perform a comparative measurement analysis of group users' behavior dynamic characteristics. We find there are less sharp changes caused by abnormity compared with IPv4, which shows there are less large-scale malicious activities in IPv6 currently. All the evaluation experiments are carried out based on the traffic traces collected from the Northwest Regional Center of CERNET (China Education and Research Network), and the results reveal the detailed flow characteristics of IPv6, which are useful for traffic management and anomaly detection in IPv6.

  • Nowadays, the traffic type and behavior are extremely diverse due to the growth of network speed and the appearance of various services on Internet. For efficient network operation and management, the importance of application-level traffic identification is more and more increasing in the area of traffic analysis. In recent years traffic identification methodology using statistical features of traffic flow has been broadly studied. However, there are several problems to be considered in the identification methodology base on statistical features of flow to improve the analysis accuracy. In this paper, we recognize these problems by analyzing the ground-truth traffic and propose the solution of these problems. The four problems considered in this paper are the distance measurement of features, the selection of the representative value of features, the abnormal behavior of TCP sessions, and the weight assignment to the feature. The proposed solutions were verified by showing the performance improvement through experiments in campus network.

  • The DMR-II shared-medium access control protocol was developed for the ATM access network users to supper the isochronous traffic and the non-isochronous traffic simultaneously under the bandwidth-skating environment. In this paper we analyze the performance of the DMR-II protocol by using both the analytical analysis and the simulation method. Under the ATM access network environment, the performance analysis result shows that the DMR-II protocol maintains the delay variation of the isochronous traffic beyond the threshold value, and satisfies the delay time criteria of the non-isochronous traffic by supporting the priority service. Moreover the result shows high network utilization over 130% due to the destination release mechanism of the DMR-II protocol.

  • Recently most of hacking attack are either DDos attack or worm attack. However detection algorithms against those attacks are insufficient. In this paper, we propose a method which is able to detect attack traffic very efficiently by reducing traffic overhead. In this scheme, network traffics are collected using SNMP and classified. if they are identified as normal traffic, traffic analysis delay timer is started to reduce traffic overhead.

  • In these days, the world is getting connected to the internet like a sophisticated net, such an environment gives a suitable environment for cyber attackers, so-called cyber-terrorists. As a result, a number of cyber attacks has significantly increased and researches to find cyber attack traffics in the field of network monitoring has also been proceeding. But cyber attack traffics have been appearing in new forms in every attack making it harder to monitor. This paper suggests a method of tracking down cyber attack traffic sources by defining relational information flow of traffic data from highest cascaded and grouped relational flow. The result of applying this cyber attack source tracking method to real cyber attack traffic, was found to be reliable with quality results.

  • Each university in Korea has connected its campus network to outer network with a variety methods since every year KREN adopted an open bid in selecting a network service company. In particular many universities connected two or more outer networks have faced more complex decision problems about their network operations due to the intricacy of the networks. So, those university needs the system which helps the managers to select the optimum operating method for their campus networks. In this paper, campus network traffic efficiency based on utilization was analyzed using the manager's answers to the questions for traffic management. And, by the result of analysis, the link strategy to outer networks was suggested for the universities running simultaneously two outer networks.

  • This paper introduces a network security situation awareness tool using a traffic pattern map which facilitates recognizing a current network status by extracting and analyzing predetermined traffic features and displaying an abnormal or harmful traffic which deteriorates network performance. The traffic pattern-map consists of $26{\times}26$ intersections, on which the occupancy rate of the port having maximum occupancy is displayed as a bar graph. In general, in case of the Internet worm, the source address section on the traffic pattern map is activated. In case of DDoS the destination address section is activated.

  • Internet network routing system is used to prevent spread and distribution of malicious data traffic. This study is based on analysis of diagnostic weakness structure in the network security domain. We propose an improved integrated multi-level protection domain for in the internal route of groupware. This paper's protection domain is designed to handle the malicious data traffic in the groupware and finally leads to lighten the load of data traffic and improve network security in the groupware. Infrastructure of protection domain is transformed into five-stage blocking domain from two or three-stage blocking. Filtering and protections are executed for the entire server at the gateway level and internet traffic route ensures differentiated protection by dividing into five-stage. Five-stage multi-level network security domain's malicious data traffic protection performance is better than former one. In this paper, we use a trust evaluation metric for measuring the security domain's performance and suggested algorithm.
