Using Burstiness for Network Applications Classification

Table 1

Burstiness and idle time features amongst packets (for each direction).

Feature	Description
Bursts	Total number of bursts between packets for each direction
Packets-in-burst	Total number of packets in bursts for each direction
Burst-size	Total bytes for bursts for each direction
Burst-size-b/Burst-size-a	The ratio between burst-size-b and burst-size-a
Burst-duration	The time duration of bursts for each direction
Burst-duration-a/Packet-a	The ratio between burst duration and number of all packets in bursts
Burst-duration-b/Packet-b	The ratio between burst duration and number of all packets in bursts
Idle-time	The accumulation of inactive time for all packets
Idle-time-data	The accumulation of inactive time for only data packets
