Deep packet inspection (DPI) technology has conventionally been introduced for traffic monitoring, bandwidth control, access control of specific types of traffic, etc. As a new potential application of DPI technology, this paper proposes three promising approaches of network and server control with DPI technology, and presents implementation examples of two approaches. These approaches could simplify dramatically the conventional work load for system management and reduction of p ower consumption by servers and accelerate the control action.

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a crucial tool that enables more accurate network management and traffic profiling. Its high computational demands have been pushing networking researchers to study how to improve DPI technologies. However, in this quest for better performance, little effort has been devoted to making fair performance comparisons among DPIs. Even worse, most studies show performance gains by applying DPI techniques using specific, and sometimes small, signature sets. Consequently, one DPI engine may report a certain maximum throughput while another one may report a similar performance but may have used a significantly smaller signature set. This fact makes it clear that the research community needs a well-defined framework for testing new DPI systems. This paper proposes a new framework for characterizing signature sets for evaluating DPI systems and provides an in-depth analysis of signature sets from application, protocol, and intrusion detection systems.

“…In addition, those solutions are preconfigured to carry out a certain type of tests, and they are difficult to customize, being tied to an hardware implementation. On the contrary, software traffic generators are cheaper, often opensource or free of charge and more flexible, but it is expected that they have lower performance in terms of accuracy and precision [4], [5].…”

“…We focus on IDT because it is the most sensitive to poor accuracy. Previous papers existing in the literature have already characterized some generators, in terms of average and experimental standard deviation of traffic rate (or of IDT) [5]- [9]. The step ahead in this paper is a model of IDT, based on the analysis of the empirical distribution of observed IDTs.…”

This paper is a first step toward the goal of evaluating the measurement accuracy of the interdeparture times (IDTs) provided by software traffic generators. To provide evidences of the proposed methodology, in this paper, we focus our attention on the experimental characterization of the internal generation cycle of a well-known, open source generator, namely, distributed internet traffic generator. We tested the traffic generator for different systems, and under the best possible conditions, i.e., with the minimum system load. The resulting performance may be seen as the ideal limit the generators can tend to. In this paper, we present the rationale for the activity, the underlying methodology and a set of tests aimed at highlighting the relevance of the clock resolution in the accuracy of IDT. In addition, we present a statistical model for the IDT of packets. The model allows to capture the effects of the various phenomena that affect this important generation parameter. We have also performed a set of experiments with another traffic generator to show the generalizability of the results. These results show that the contributions proposed in this paper are general and valid for a wide set of software-based traffic generators
