Efficient Extraction of Network Event Types from NetFlows

Algorithm 3

Parsing event descriptions into flow-specific and aggregative.

1: function PARSEDESCRIPTIONS(Descriptions, Dictionary)

2:  flowSpec

3:  aggregative

4:  parser new Parser(Dictionary)           predefined dictionary parser

5:  for all desc    Descriptions do

6:    

7:    flowSpec_i parser.parseFlowSpec(desc)

8:    aggregative_i  parser.parseAggreg(desc)

9:  end for

10:  descriptions    

11:   return formulae

12: end function
