Using Burstiness for Network Applications Classification

Algorithm 1

Estimation of packet bursts and idle time.

	burst_threshold = 1 s
idle_threshold = 10 s
initialise burst and idle time parameters
while packets arriving
do
calculate interarrival_time
if interarrival_time < burst_threshold
current_burst ++
current_session ++
else
burst_counter ++
current_burst = 1
if interarrival_time > idle_threshold
current_session = 1
session_counter ++
idle_time + = interarrival_time
