Distributed Online Averaged One Dependence Estimator (DOAODE) Algorithm for Multi-class Classification of Network Anomaly Detection System

Abstract

Network monitoring system consists of large data streams, distributed architecture, and multiple computers that are geographically located all over the world caused a difficulty to detect abnormalities in the system. In addition, when handling network traffic, the data in network is fast incoming and requires an online learning where immediately response and predict the pattern of network traffic for classification once there is an event or request occur. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an effective and efficient network anomaly detection system by using distributed online averaged one dependence estimator (DOAODE) classification algorithm for multi-class network data to overcome these issues. The finding of DOAODE algorithm for multi-class classification is high in accuracy with average 83% and fast to train the network traffic recorded less than ten seconds and takes shorter time when the number of nodes increases.
