Efficient Extraction of Network Event Types from NetFlows

Algorithm 2

Distribution of flows into time windows.

1: function DISTRIBUTEFLOWS(Flows)

2:  minTime time of the first flow Flows

3:  maxTime time of the last flow Flows

4:  intervalCount (maxTime − minTime)/winSize

5:  flowWindows

6:  for all flow   Flows do

7:    idx = (flow.time − minTime)/winSize

8:    flowWindows_idx=  flowWindows_idx  flow        flow distribution

9:  end for

10:  return flowWindows

11: end function
