Abstract:

Network traffic classification is the foundation for many network security and network management applications. Recently, to preserve the privacy of the data which are generated in the mobile ends, federated learning (FL)-based classification methods are being proposed. Unfortunately, the performance of FL-based methods can seriously degrade when the client data have skewness. This is particularly true for mobile network traffic classification where the environments in the mobile ends are highly heterogeneous. In this article, we first conduct a measurement study on traffic classification accuracy through FL using real-world network traffic trace and we observe serious accuracy degradation due to heterogeneous environments. We propose a novel federated analytics (FA) approach, FEAT, to improve the accuracy. Note that FL emphasizes on model training, yet our FA performs local analytic tasks that can estimate traffic data skewness and select appropriate clients for FL model training. Our analytics tasks are performed locally and in a federated manner; thus, we preserve privacy as well. Our approach has strong theoretical properties where we exploit Hoeffding inequality to infer traffic data skewness and we leverage the Thompson Sampling for client selection. We evaluate our approach through extensive experiments using real-world traffic data sets QUIC and ISCX. The extensive experiments demonstrate that FEAT can improve traffic classification accuracy in heterogeneous environments.
