Real-Time Anomaly Detection of Network Traffic Based on CNN

Network traffic anomaly detection mainly detects and analyzes abnormal traffic by extracting the statistical features of network traffic. It is necessary to fully understand the concept of symmetry in anomaly detection and anomaly mitigation. However, the original information on network traffic is easily lost, and the adjustment of dynamic network configuration becomes gradually complicated. To solve this problem, we designed and realized a new online anomaly detection system based on software defined networks. The system uses the convolutional neural network to directly extract the original features of the network flow for analysis, which can realize online real- time packet extraction and detection. It utilizes SDN to flexibly adapt to changes in the network, allowing for a zero-configuration anomaly detection system. The packet filter of the anomaly detection system is used to automatically implement mitigation strategies to achieve online real-time mitigation of abnormal traffic. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more accurate and can warn the network manager in time that security measures can be taken, which fully demonstrates that the method can effectively detect abnormal traffic problems and improve the security performance of edge clustering networks.
