- Abstract
In many sectors, network traffic categorization is a crucial duty, including network security, quality of service, and traffic engineering. Deep learning models have demonstrated potential in this area. This study used a comparative analysis method to evaluate and compare how well various models performed at categorizing network traffic. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel at capturing local patterns and spatial dependencies, which are prevalent in network traffic data. On the other hand, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are better suited for tasks that require modeling sequential dependencies over time, but they may struggle to capture the spatial characteristics of network traffic effectively. While deep learning models like CNNs hold promise, their effectiveness can vary depending on the specific characteristics of the data. It is crucial to consider the nature of the task, the available data, and the strengths and weaknesses of different models when making decisions. The results revealed the superiority of the CNN model over RNN models. The CNN achieved 77.41% accuracy, while the RNN with gate recurrent unit (RNN-GRU) model reached 45.43% accuracy and the RNN with long short-term memory (RNN-LSTM) model achieved 45.94% accuracy. In terms of precision, CNN achieved a score of 76.88%, while RNN-GRU scored 20.05% and RNN-LSTM scored 27.14%. Overall, this research underscores the importance of selecting appropriate models for categorizing network traffic.
